| It is situated at Köroglu Tepesi Mevkii, 2 km east of the Uzunburun Village. Out of the two grave chambers which were carved into the volcanic tuff close to each other, the one on the right is a rectangular Phrygian grave with a dromos and a vaulted roof. The entrance has been destroyed and the dromos is filled with stones and soil. The grave chamber is filled with water at half height. Thus, no information is available about the benchs on which the bodies were laid. The girders between the walls and the roof were decorated in reliefs. |
