AN OLD HOUSE
This structure is situated on the edge of a gorge extending on the left bank of the river Voskepar, about 30 metres north-east of the aforementioned fortified tower, 2.5 km west of the village of the same name, at an altitude of 798
metres above sea level (N 41°03.45.34´´; E 045°01.26.17´´).
It represents a simple vaulted dwelling of an almost square plan that used to stand within an enclosure (interior dimensions: 3.85 x 3.52 metres). Inwardly, it has a hearth and several recesses serving as closets.
The house is almost entirely built of the same brick which was used in the masonry of the nearby tower, and particularly, in the church of Berdavank. Its building material also includes pebble and mortar.
