| It locates at a height of 2495 m, on the top of Ziyaret Tepe, 1.1 km northeast of Alagöz Village, 11 km south of Merkez District in Ardahan Province. It was discovered during the survey carried out by S. Pataci and his team in 2015. There is a "U" shaped building on the summit. The north side extending in the east-west direction measures 48 m, the west side 17.50 m, and the east side is 16 m. The west and east walls of the structure rise up to 1.50 m. The walls were erected with medium sized stones in the drystone wall technique. There are remains of 3 semi-round spaces adjacent to the north wall. There are 2 rounded buildings to the northeast of these remains. No finds were collected from the surface that could be used for dating. However, the architectural features indicate that the site might have been used in the Bronze Age [Pataci et al. 2017:184-5]. |
