| It is located at the Karasakalözü-Agapinar Mevkii, 6 km south of the Asagidoganoglu Village. It lies on the right side of the Alpu-Beylikova motorway, as carved into the rock on the northern section of a hill overlooking the road. It was discovered by T. Tüfekçi Sivas and H. Sivas in 2003. The entrance facing the north, the grave consists of two chambers built one after another. The upper part of the quasi-square rectangular entrance of the grave has been damaged. Both chambers beyond the entrance has a rectangular plan, with a triangular pediment and a pitched roof. In the interior, the door lentils and the thick fascia used for coves are in relief. No information is available about the benches as the interior of the grave chambers are filled with soil. Limited number of sherds belonging to the Phrygian grey ware was collected from the cultivated field at the skirts of the hill where the grave was found. |
