Doodle-Kaya is a fortified rural shelter of the X-XIII (?) Centuries, located in the Upper Oreanda region of Big Yalta . The shelter occupies the top of a separate cliff - the rejector, located on the 5/71 kilometer of the south coastal highway Yalta - Sevastopol.
From the southern, eastern and western sides, access to the top is blocked by many-meter-high rocky cliffs. From the floor north-west side, the ruins of a defensive wall with a length of more than 40 meters, made of dry buta, have been preserved. The wall thickness reaches 1.3-1.4 meters, the reconstructed height is up to 2 meters.
The area of the fortification is about 620 m². No traces of any structures on the territory of the mountain refuge were found.
At the foot of the cliff (on the south side) in the forest thickets are the remains of a settlement dating from the lifting material of the VIII-X centuries.
