The rock tomb no. 5 is located on the high mountain peak, known as Keleha Kasre by the local people, about 600 m north of the village of Bağlıca, which is within the borders of Gercüş district of Batman province. Baglica Village is located 29.26 km south of Batman city center and 20.08 km west of Gercüş district.
The entrance of the rock tomb faces south and the entrance part has been largely destroyed (Picture 1). The rock tomb has a nearly square plan and there are 8 klines in the tomb. Klines are located on the east, west, north and south walls of the burial chamber. The rock tomb has been damaged. The clines found in this rock tomb were built adjacent to the clines found in the rock tomb no. Clays 1-2 are located on the east wall of the burial chamber and the boundaries of these klines are not exactly clear (Picture 2). Klines no. 3-4 are located on the north wall of the burial chamber (Picture 3), klines no. 5-6 are located on the west wall of the burial chamber, and clay no. 7-8 is located on the south wall (Picture 4). It is thought that the kline no 8 is the place where children's graves or dead gifts are placed. Some klines have pillows, while others do not.
