Ushiberd (Armenian: Ուշիբերդ) is an Iron Age fortress located upon a hill just outside the village of Ushi in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia [1]. It has almost completely collapsed except for portions of the walls that once surrounded the fortress, located around the edge of the hill before it descends [1]. Within the area that was once the interior of the fortress are large piles of large stones that once made up the fortification walls and structures within [1].
