There are two known dolmens, one completely in ruins on the ridge to the west of the road leading to the Hanliyenece Village, 1.54 km south of Donköy (Doganköy). The dolmens were investigated during the survey performed under the direction of M. Özdogan, and recorded in the publication as A 3/10 a and b. 30 m north of the these two dolmen is another one, which has been heavily destroyed. It was also surveyed by M. Özdogan, and recorded in the publication as A 3/23. Another dolmen which was discovered by R. Ersin and published in 1969 by S.A. Kansu is situated on the Hanliyenice-Donköy road, 2 km from Donköy [Kansu 1969:578, pics. 10-13]. It is likely that it is one of the dolmens published by Özdogan (?).
