The Kapılıkaya Rock Tomb is a Hellenistic-period rock tomb located between Laçin and Kırkdilim, about 27 km north of Çorum, on rocky, steep terrain cut by river-formed rift valleys. A steep trail ascends the left side of a rock outcrop to stairs before the tomb, and its inner chamber is entered through a small square opening halfway up.
