Vasakaberd Fortress dates back to the V century. It was once described by ethnographer Y. Lalayan without mentioning its name. According to his testimony, the fortress was located on the top of the hill and had two walls. There was a pool on the top of the fort the water of which came from the nearby southern mountains because the pipes were in that direction. Traces of houses could be found both around the fort and inside it. Urns full of human bones were found on the northern slopes of the fort, on the bank of the river. It is noteworthy that the pot burials indicate the earlier history of the fort.
