| It locates in Agillitas Mevkii, in the valley on the road heading to Kaynar Castle, in Bucak District of Burdur Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by R. Becks and his team in 2015. There is a farmstead, the remains of which are visible, to the north of the valley. There are high numbers of potsherds and roof tiles, dated between the 1st and the 3rd centuries AD, on the surface. Remains belonging to a rock sanctuary and various spaces were determined on top of the high and steep rocky hill. There is a space with a dimension of 12x5.20 m, which was carved into the bedrock, on the north slope. A 3-step staircase is carved into the western edge. On the south slope, there is a relief depicting 3 figures in a naiskos with a triangular pediment [Becks et al. 2017:678]. |
