Kosh ( _hy. Կոշ, also Romanized as Koghes; formerly, Kvash) is a village in the Ashtarak district, Aragatsotn province, Armenia, about 18km south-west of the district centre Ashtarak. The town is attested as "Kvash" in early Christian times. In the town are ruins of a 13th century church - Saint Grigor - and a castle which has yielded Hellenistic pottery remains. There are numerous remainings from early iron age residential ruins and buildings of large basalt stone blocks.
