It is located on another hill in the Çignali Mevkii near the conglomeration. It was researched within the scope of "Çorum; Çankiri Provinces Survey" by T. Yildirim ve T. Sipahi in 2005. It is found that the paesants preyed here for rain and they believed the trees in the environs is sacred. There are many sherds dating to EBA in the area. No illicit digging took place here due to the beliefs of the paesants who considered the area as a sacred place [Yildirim Sipahi 2007:339]. |
