Most of the ruins at Gavurkale date to the Hittite and Phrygian periods, but the site is mainly known for the Hittite period rock reliefs. The reliefs carved on the flattened rock face towards the top of the hill depicts three deities. Two large male figures are clearly visible, shown as striding toward the left. Although there are no inscriptions, existence of multiple horns on their conical heads identifies them as gods. Both wear short tunics and pointy shoes, and carry swords in their belts. The first figure has no beard but the second one does. They face a less visible and smaller seated figure on the left, possibly a goddess. She has a similar conical hat. The goddess figure is located slightly higher on the rock, and thus damaged by erosion. It has been suggested that another artificially flattened bare rock surface further to the left may have been intended for additional reliefs. On the rock above the reliefs rises the remains of a cyclopean wall structure of the Hittite period. Within this walled complex is also a chamber with rock walls, function of which has not been entirely determined. The site possibly had both military and ritual significance. It may have been one of the hill top rock sanctuaries, referred to in Hittite texts as a hekur, "Stone House", which served as funerary facilities for the Hittite royalty.
