Hüseyindede Tepe is a small Early Hittite settlement located 45 km from Boğazköy ( ca 30 km northwest of Çorum / Sungurlu district, in the vicinity of Yörüklü town. The site in the Hüseyindede Mound was an Old Hittite cult center, and was not a large settlement..
In the in the northeast corner of room III were unearthed Roman Period tomb carved into the bedrock with a small front room and a burial chamber, which is entered through a small door. It can be assumed that the rock-cut tomb found in Hüseyindede belongs to a nearby Roman settlement.
