Şeytan (Devil's) Bridge is located in the north of Tatlıca (Xilobit) hamlet of Koçkaya (Heşter) village, which is within the borders of Sason district of Batman province. Koçkaya village is located 75km north of Batman city center and 35km northwest of Sason county centre.

The bridge was built in a north-south direction on Sarıçoban Stream, which draws the natural border of Sason district of Batman province and Kulp district of Diyarbakır province. Few remains of the bridge, whose feet were placed on the bedrock, have survived to the present day and the originality of the bridge has been damaged by the repairs made later. Based on the remains of the bridge, rubble stone and cas mortar were used in the construction of the bridge. However, today the bridge has been repaired with modern workmanship and is still in use. In the rocky area just south of the bridge, 4 cisterns that lost their function as a result of destruction were identified.
