| It lies 2.2 km east of the Kümbet Village. It was presumably a watch point of Phrygians. The settlement is accessed climbing from the southeast. The rock steps are still observable here. It measures 80 m long in the north-south direction, and 25 m wide in the east-west direction with a height of 30 m above the valley basin. The Phrygian features are obviously observed on the rock niche at the upper section, rock bowls and foundation holes carved into the bedrock. Sherds of the Phrygian grey ware, obviously ran off the southern slopes of the rocky area, were collected from the surface. |
