| It is located in the rocky area on the north of Biçer 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. One of two graves which were discovered on the top of the rocky area was built in the form of intertwined square shaped niches. The interior section is accessible through a rectangular shaped entrance with a dimension of 50x100 cm. There are 3 square shaped klines inside. It is 2 m in height and 3 m in length. On the kline sections, pillars were used as a reflection of the wooden architecture. The second rock grave is entered through a rectangular shaped entrance with a dimension of 180x50 cm.

The third grave located on the west of the area was carved as two-part and these two parts were connected with a small niche. There is a bone pit at the entrance section.
