dc.descriptionDescription: One of several neighboring settlements northwest of Koca Ören, just northwest of the modern village of Tekeliler. The settlement is a sizeable complex with walls 0.75 m wide constructed of roughly worked limestone blocks. The building consists of a central group of rooms surrounded by a series of corridors. Only some of the walls are clearly discernible, while most are heavily obscured by scrub oak. The press elements (B053) suggest that there were at least three presses at this site, including a press room with many of the elements preserved in situ. Four socket blocks have been identified, all carved from the local limestone. One is still in situ in the north wall of a room. A second socket block is reused, placed sideways low in the wall, in the same room. The other walls of this room were not visible, and so its dimensions cannot be reconstructed. A third socket block is lying in two halves in a different room. The fourth socket block does not have a clear architectural context. The marked lack of pottery from this site makes dating difficult. Its apparently defensive character, with ** thick walls built of large blocks, would be consistent with a Late Roman or later date. One possibility is that it was a monastery, but no traces of an apsidal room or other space identifiable as a church or chapel were discerned. More likely it was a fortified farm.en_US
