“On an elevation in the area between Ojagh Ghuli and Kendivan, another village site at present uninhabited, a semi-ruined chapel called Santruk can be seen, animals being often sacrficed there. “A thicket a little above it retains some graves, yard sites and a lying cross-stone, 2.5 arshins long and 2 arshins wide, with its year distorted. The territory above the thicket contains a spate of big and small khachkars, both lying and standing, which are not dated..."
