The settlement called Kadırga Caves is located within the borders of Batman city center. It is located 2 km northwest of Kumluca village, 19.58 km southeast of Batman city centre, 15.50 km west of Hasankeyf town, 4.10 km west of Sukeken village, on the southeastern slope of West Raman Mountain, north of the Tigris River.

There are three klines built above the ground, which can be partially seen due to intense destruction in the tomb chamber, which has a rectangular plan. The rock tomb was probably converted into a rock dwelling in the later periods. In this direction, the rocks in the northwest section were continued to be carved and the area was also used as a rock dwelling. Today, it is used by the nomads as an animal shelter.
