| It is located in the area where village fountain is located, on the south of Bahçedere Village in Dicle District of Diyarbakir Province. It 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. 4 rock graves discovered in the area are entered through rectangular shape entrance. They have 3 half moon shaped klines inside. An alcove with a dimension of 50x70 cm and a depth of 50 cm is located on the upper part of the village fountain. It is 4 m above the ground. It is probably related to Open Air worshipping and there might be a cult statue placed into the alcove. |
