It rests on two rocky hills, which are connected to each other by a low saddle. The fortifications are mostly extant. Also rock signs and a cemetery area with Urartian features are seen. While the fortress bear Urartian features, sherds recovered from the cemetery area have characteristics of the Early Iron Age. |
