On the wall of an access passage of one tomb the relief of a female figure has survived. This is the earliest relief of a human figure discovered on the island so far. Also discovered in one of the tombs was a Minoan 'Kamares' cup and blue faience beads from Egypt, which suggest very early trading relations with Crete and Egypt.
The site is "yellow-sign"ed off the main Girne coastal road in the centre of Karaoglanoglu.
