Modern Description: Küçük Ikizce proved to bear a fortification measuring perhaps 100 by 50 m. The fortification wall can be traced almost all the way round the top; it stands as high as 1·5 m. on the face, and is in fitted masonry which in places resembles archaic polygonal. Inside this the ground rises slightly to a summit on the north-east. There are traces of the walls of buildings, probably houses, in the interior, and tiles where the villagers have dug pits; but the pits have not been dug deep enough to reach the occupation level, and there were scarcely any sherds to be found in the carpet of pine needles and oak leaves.
