Its story

Hoca Çeşme Höyüğü (Hoca Çeşme Mound) lies on a rocky ridge beside the Keşan–Enez road, about 3 kilometers southeast of Enez. Excavations led by Mehmet Özdoğan in 1990–93 identified seven layers. Circular structures carved into the rock were found in the lowest layer; the finds shed light on the early stages of the transition to farming in the northwestern Marmara. The site has not been laid out as a protected archaeological site; a visit mostly means looking from the roadside.
