Two human busts are depicted in relief on the tomb. The single-storey tomb on the left reflects all the features of the Corinthian order. On the hill beyond these tombs, remains belonging to the ruins and a tower can be seen.. Apart from these tombs, on the east side of the road there is another monumental tomb known as Sivri Kale. The pyramid roof of the tomb, covered with slab-shaped stones, is striking. The construction on the inside of the tomb structure is different from the tombs described above. As you go further down, towards the village exit, there is another monumental tomb on the left side of the road. Its roof is again covered with square stone slabs in slab form. The waterspouts are in the shape of lion heads. There are shield reliefs on the front and rear pediment. The tomb inscription has fallen to the ground. There is also a sarcophagus in front of it.
