| It is a 6 m high hill on a natural rock, 150 m northwest of the demirci Quarter in the Daday District of Kastamonu. A large rift was opened on the western sections by construction machines. The section exposes traces of masonry framing the tumulus. Although it is likely to be dated to the Iron Age, no sherds are available for helping to determine a precise date. |
