| It locates on the cliff, in the south of the Toki Houses, in the centrum of Bucak District, in Burdur Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by H. Metin and his team in 2015. There are remains of city walls measuring about 900 m high and 155 m in diameter. This city wall that was erected with irregular stones extends in the northwest-southeast direction. It is assumed that the entrance is in the southern section that is less sloping. There are no architectural remains inside the city wall. It is believed that it could be an outpost-watchtower since it has a location that dominates the surrounding area [Metin 2017:313]. |
