| It is located in the south of Demirlik Hill (1293 m), about 6 km northwest of Kesme Village in Sütçüler District of Isparta Province. It is situated between the hills in the plateau that is about 400 m in diameter and 1250 m in height. It was visited during the survey conducted by Özsait and his team in 2012. It is in the southeast of Bel Cistern and in the north of Idrisler Cistern. The settlement is named after the spring flowing to a pool. Damla Asari connects Bel Cistern and Idrisler Cistern via a stone paved Roman road. There is a gathering area in the section of bedrock facing to the southwest. The gathering area, which was cut in the bedrock, extends in the northwest-southeast direction and it consists of 14 steps that approx. measure 10 m in length. The structures on the hill have been severely damaged. A great number of spindle whorls were found [Özsait et al. 2014:235]. |
