| It is located near the Asar Quarter of the Ovacik Village of the Cinecik District of the Aydin Province. The survey conducted by Diler in 1993 yielded a city wall from the Late Roman-Byzantine Period and a tower of 6.15x7.45 m. There are agricultural terraces made of rubble stones on the western and southern slopes. It is suggested that those terraces served only for daily needs with no higher capacity [Diler 1996:316]. |
