The site, primarily the city walls, towers and gates, are beginning to suffer from stone robbing. Tractors from nearby villages and lorries from Sorgun are being used. This has been reported to the Vali of Yozgat, the Kaymakan at Sorgun and the staff of Yozgat Museum. Notices are to be placed on the approaches to the site and the Muhtar of Şahmuratlı is co-operating in the prevention of further damage. Improvements to the present road up to the site from Sahmuratlı will facilitate growing tourism but will also increase the temptation to quarry the city walls. This has been explained to the officials in the province and the Vali, who is very sympathetic and keen to develop the tourist potential of the site, has agreed to postpone further improvement to the road for the time being.
