| It is situated 1.5 km west of the Çayagzi Village of the Hanak District in Ardahan. It was built on an easily defendable hill, arising on top of a mountain chain in north-south direction, with a steep western slope, overlooking the Hanak Region. The walls of a tower-like structure built in dry wall technique used for observation purposes survived at a height of 2 m at some places. The building bear characteristics of the Iron Age based on its ceramics finds and architectural features. |
