It is located on the fields on the northern and eastern parts of a big rocky block; 1.8 km south of Cengerli Village; adjacent to a stream passing through it; about 13 km southeast of Refahiye; northwest of Erzincan Province. Fisin stream flows from the west and north of the settlement. The stair-like cavities on the northern part of the rocky block can be considered as if they were prepared for fortification walls. Because of the sherds dating from the Urartu Period; it is possible that it was an Urartu Castle. In the fields around; there are sherds of grooved rimmed; red-brown and very well burnished ware and red-gray mottled and burnished ware. Some are comparable with the finds of Kildirik and Tombul Tepe. It was discovered by S. Güneri. Another surface collection is necessary.
