The site lies southwest of Ordu; west-northwest of Mesudiye; 5 km west of Üçyol village; 300 m north of Uzunyol. It was discovered during the Mesudiye Survey conducted by M. Özsait. Although the site was first considered as a tumulus; brown and light red-slipped ware dating to the Early Chalcolithic Age were found on the surface. In addition; EBA and IA ceramics and grinding stones were collected. Large stones were taken out by the illicit diggers. Therefore; it is hard to say whether Çaglayankaya is a tumulus or a mound. |
