| It lies on the bedrock which is located on the left of Altinkum Village in Silvan District of Diyarbakir Province. The settlement appears in the Diyarbakir Culture Inventory which was achieved after the surveys organized by the Diyarbakir Province Culture and Tourism Directorship between 2009 and 2011. Only the wall on the south section was preserved and the wall was built with pitch-faced calcareous cut-stones. As a result of illicit diggings done in front of this wall, a stone masonry which is in cistern-like plan was exposed. |
