Bozikân Kalesi is at Kaleyolu village — also given as Bozikân — 25 kilometres north of Sason in Batman. The provincial directorate assigns it to the Byzantine period.
It is said, in the directorate's wording rather than as a finding, that the castle served to control this stretch of the silk road running from east to west.
