The Jandarlake Kurgans are located in the lowland region of Jeyranchol, approximately 600 meters northeast of Aghgol village. The surface of the kurgans is encircled by small river stones arranged in a cromlech formation. The diameters of the kurgans vary, ranging from 10 to 15 meters for large burial chambers and 4 to 8 meters for smaller ones. The depth of large chambers is 2–3 meters, while the smaller ones range from 0.5 to 1 meter. During archaeological excavations, one kurgan was found to contain three distinct chamber sections. Notably, all these burials were excavated in a west-east orientation and exhibit a symmetrical arrangement.
