Qarasoý Valley Kurgan No. 2 is located 50 meters south of Kurgan No. 1, positioned closer to the Qarasoý River valley, at a distance of 8 meters from the riverbed. The kurgan stands 1.75 meters above the modern ground level and is situated at an elevation of 485 meters above sea level. It has a diameter of 18 meters, a radius of 9 meters, and an area of 168 m² (based on GPS measurements).
The primary surface features of the burial monument include its elevated position relative to the contemporary ground level, a slightly sunken central section, and a cromlech that is more distinctly visible compared to Kurgan No. 1. The cromlech consists of medium to large-sized boulders, with stone dimensions reaching 30×70 cm and 40×80 cm. Some stones within the structure measure up to 1 meter in length. These stones are arranged in a more structured and tightly packed circular formation.
