| It is situated in the Cehennem Valley in Bereketli Village which is 8 km northwest from district of Idil in Sirnak. It was discovered during the Sirnak Province Survey performed by G. Kozbe et el. in 2006. There are the remains of a fortress that was founded on the slope of the mountain, and rock graves. After a descent on the basalt steps the valley is accessed and the remains of the fortress can be observed on both sides of the steps. One of the three wells that provided water for Bereketli Village until recently remained out-of-use. There are some touched and flattened basalt blocks around the spring of water besides the southern steps. Very few sherds were collected as survey finds. Basalt doorway stones were used as gathered building elements on the stairs. Based on the statements by the village inhabitants there are 15 caves in the valley but hese could not be identified due to security purposes [Kozbe 2008:176-177]. |
