It was home to Diogenes the Epicurean in the 2nd century CE and there are several inscriptions by him scattered around the site. It has never been excavated so all that's known about it is from historical records.
The site is a stiff 1.5km hike up rocky goat tracks rising 300 metres above the village of Incealiler (1200m altitude). It's very overgrown with trees, I appear to have missed parts of it at the southern end. But I had a great sense of achievement in actually finding the place.
Here is The Epicurean Inscription by Diogenes, and a site plan at the Historic Anatolia website.
Note: Oinoanda and the biggest inscription of the ancient world
