Группа дольменов урочища "Виноградное" расположена на склоне горы Виноградная. На сегодня в группе насчитывается 5 корытообразных дольменов (полумонолиты), плюс 2 дольмена (плиточный и корытообразный полумонолит) в урочище Ландыши. В.И. Марковиным во время его экспедиции были предприняты раскопки двух дольменов группы расположенных рядом с опорами ЛЭП.

 

 

The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed large stone blocks. The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners or were curved to make a perfect circle. The monuments date between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C. Most of them are represented by rectangular structures made of stone slabs or cut in rocks with holes in their facade. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometres of Russia and Abkhazia. Approximately 3,000 of these megalithic monuments are known in the Western Caucasus, but more are constantly being found, while more and more are also being destroyed. Today, many of these monuments are in great disrepair and will be completely lost if they are not protected from vandals and general neglect.
