"that all of them, both men and women, are bald from birth, flat-nosed and with large jaws; they have a special speech; they dress in the Scythian style...", "they have little cattle, because the pastures there are poor. Each of them settles under a tree, which is covered with thick white felt for the winter, and left open for the summer. 
No one offends them, because they are considered sacred; they have no weapons... The name of this people is Argippeans.". "Thus, this people is still known, and above them, according to the stories of the Issedones, live one-eyed people and vultures guarding gold. From the words of the Issedones, the Scythians repeat this, and from the Scythians we know it too..."

The central element of the complex is a large mound 35 meters in diameter, lined with stones. To the east of it is a smaller mound 11 meters in diameter and 0.63 meters high.
From this small mound in the eastward direction, two parallel chains of stones about 100 meters long, known as "whiskers", extend. On the northern side of the complex, at a distance of 80 - 100 meters, there are 37 small stone mounds, built in an arc from west to east.
The diameter of these mounds ranges from 5 to 8 meters, and the height is from 0.3 to 0.6 meters. Around the main mounds and "whiskers" there are numerous menhirs - vertically standing stone steles up to two meters high. The entire complex is about 480 meters long and includes 136 menhirs.
