It is located in Karahisar Village in Beysehir District of Konya Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by Bahar-Küçükbezci in 2010. On the upland settlement, wall remains and potsherds were found. The fortification walls are partly apparent on the north tip of the hill. The walls built with cyclopean masonry are about 100 m in length. It is suggested that this area could be the northern entrance of the settlement. There are rectangular niches as are on the eastern slope of the settlement. There are offering basins which are carved into the rock [Bahar-Küçükbezci 2012:102].
