A major, but relatively short-lived, fortified site in the Zagros mountains of modern Iraqi Kurdistan comprising two settlement loci within a large fortified area. Remains include stone foundations for mudbrick fortification walls and buildings, a stone-cut stairway, and two rock-reliefs depicting an unnamed ruler in elaborate costume. The complex has some evidence for reoccupation in Sasanian, Islamic and modern times.
