The staff of the Jeirakh-Assin Museum-Reserve monitored the medieval tower complex Kost.
Kost is a tower settlement on the spur of the Tsey-Loam mountain, south of Kart.
According to the orders of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Government of the Republic of Ingushetia, the complex includes 52 identified objects of cultural heritage, including: semi-combat tower - 3, dwelling tower - 13, above-ground crypt - 5, underground crypt - 16, semi-underground crypt - 4, ruins of stone buildings - 9, outbuildings - 2.
The semi-martial towers of the complex have preserved about 80% of the original volume, there are numerous cracks, the roofs have been lost, and the base has been weathered by heavy rains.
The dwelling towers have preserved from 40 to 90% of the construction volume, the roofs have been lost. The walls of some dwelling towers are destroyed to the foundation, others are half-collapsed, and some are preserved to their full height. The reason for the deformation is the destruction of the rocky base.
The crypts have preserved about 70-95% of the construction volume, although some of them are ruinized and in critical condition.
Based on the results of the field work, extensive photographic material of all cultural heritage objects was collected and technical condition reports were drawn up, which will be used in the future when carrying out works on their preservation.
