Köylütolu
The monument was first noticed by Maryan Sokolowski in 1884 in a plain on Ilgın-Kadınhanı road near the Köylütolu village. It is a rectangular limestome block 180 cm in length, 90 cm in height and 100 cm in depth. The front face has 3 lines of relief inscriptions although damaged in some parts. Bottom line is twice as high as the first two lines. The top of the block has a carved cavity which may have served as a sacred pool of water. The layout of inscription indicates that there was originally another block of inscription to the right of this one. Like Yalburt, Fasıllar and Eflatunpınar monuments, this one also dates to Tudhaliya VI times. The monument is currently in Ankara at Anatolian Civilizations Museum.
