In the village cemetery of Topçular, which is still in use, stands a small rectangular tomb of rubble masonry with a roof of traditional alaturka tiles. The roof frame is made of carved wooden posts and beams put together without nails. An Ottoman headstone with an inscription leans against the outside wall, though no date can be read on it, and it is the only inscribed stone in the cemetery. The tomb is heavily visited.
