The site lies in Aragatsotn region, about 5 km southwest of Ashtarak. Beyond its location and the hill it occupies, little else about the structure is documented.

The ruins sit in Aragatsotn region, about 5 km southwest of Ashtarak, on the Didikond hill above Oshakan village. From Yerevan, that's roughly 19 km west-northwest in a straight line.
