Keçika Bagasê Visit is located on a high hill overlooking the region, on a rocky area 2km east of Boğaz (Bagasê) village, located 32km southeast of Batman center and 11km northwest of Gercüş district center (Fig. 1). (Fig. 2).

It is not known when and for whom it was built, as there is no inscription or foundation record of the visit structure, which is called Keçika Bagasê in the region. The tomb, which has no other building remains or tomb structure around it, was seated on the bedrock on a sloping and rocky ground. There is a round arched entrance section on the northern façade of the tomb (Picture 3). The tomb, which is covered with a dome from the inside and a conical cone from the outside, has a square plan and the outer border of the tomb was determined by building around the tomb with irregular stones without using mortar (Picture 4). There is an east-west oriented burial structure inside the tomb. The top of the grave, which has no inscriptions or ornaments on the foot and head witness, is covered with green cloths (Picture 5). There is a mihrab niche on the south wall of the tomb and a crenellated window on the west wall. Just to the north of the tomb, within the borders of the visitation area, there is a wishing tree on which pieces of cloth are tied. It has been observed that some parts of the tomb, in which rubble stone and “cas” mortar were used, were repaired with a workmanship suitable for today.
