| It lies 3 km northeast of the Bessaray Village. It was discovered by C.H.E. Haspels. It consists of three large rocky masses on a natural elevation in the middle of a rugged land. Narrow corridors stretch among the outcrops rising next to each other. Haspels indicate that plenty of sherds belonging to the Phrygian grey ware were found in these corridors during the survey. Also found are remains of a wall that can be traced on the ground to the north. |
