The settlement called Kadırga Caves is located within the borders of Batman city center. It is located 2km northwest of Kumluca village, 19.58km southeast of Batman city centre, 15.50km west of Hasankeyf town, 4.10km west of Sukeken village, on the southeastern slope of the West Raman Mountain, north of the Tigris River.
The entrance to the rock tomb is uncertain due to the complete collapse of the walls of the south and west sections. However, the traces in the western section indicate a stronger possibility that the entrance could have been made from the west of the room.
The tomb, which was carved into the bedrock, has a rectangular plan, which was later converted into a rock house. There is a lot of destruction in the said place and today it is used as an animal shelter by the nomads. In this direction, there are also animal fastening holes in the space.
There is a niche made in the form of an apse in the east of the space. Just north of the western entrance of the area, which was converted into a residence in the later period, there is another square-shaped, rectangular space.
There are no remains of kline carved into the rock on the northern wall of the tomb, and there are three partially visible rock tombs with arcosolium.
