Dumlu, Ceyhan
Dumlu is a village in the District of Ceyhan, Adana Province, Turkey.[1] Above the village is a magnificent fortification dating from the period of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. This well-preserved site displays horseshoe-shaped towers, a complex entrance, numerous vaulted undercrofts, and cisterns.[2] This site was the subject of a University of California archaeological survey in 1974 and 1979.[3] Neither these surveys nor the one conducted earlier by G. R. Youngs could find any evidence of Crusader construction or occupation.[4]
