Location: A turn to left is made 10 m before the bridge at 48th km of the Ayas-Polatli motorway. First a creek bed; then a pathway leads to the skirt of the hill where the cave is located. It is 60 m high from the creek; and the entrance faces west. It is also called Cingirlikuyu.
Geography and Environment: It starts with a 1.5 m wide entrance; immediately leading into a wide hall. The first descent is reached after a 10 m gallery with 25 degrees incline. This 1.2 m descent leads to the start of a second descent through a gallery of 15 m incline. The second descent reaches to a wide hall. The left side divides into two branches on the right. The one on the right leads into a small room after 15 m through a 10 m steep descent while the other one which is 1 m wide extends downward; and ends up with a wide hall.
