A rocky outcrop northwest of the site of the Hittite capital of Hattusa. Tentatively identified by Rainer Czichon as Mount Tippuwa of the ancient Hittite texts, with the settlement of Tippuwa presumed to have been located farther west, at Ahmet Can Tarlası. These suggested identifications are supported by Andreas Schachner.
