Norashen Cyclopean Fortress

Norashen Cyclopean Fortress, known locally as Pilor Wall, is a fortress-burial mound site built from large, roughly fitted stones — a construction style called cyclopean for its heavy, unmortared blocks. It stands on the southwestern edge of Norashen village in Tavush region.

There isn't much documented about the site beyond its location and type: a combined fortification and burial mound, the kind of dual-purpose stone structure found scattered across the region's hill country. No excavation details, dates, or layout descriptions are recorded.

The fortress sits in Tavush region, on the southwestern side of Norashen village, roughly 111 km northeast of Yerevan (straight-line).
