Sarayönü district, one of the important settlements of the Mountainous Phrygia region, is located within the borders of Konya province. The district, which hosted many civilisations from the Prehistoric Period, was the scene of important settlements especially in the Early Eastern Roman Period. For example, this is understood from the archaeo-architectural and liturgical remains in Beşgöz neighbourhood of Sarayönü district, where there are rich settlements belonging to the Early Eastern Roman Period. In this study, we carried out for the identification of the area, a fragment of a cross architectural block, a column cap, a column and a balustrade plate, two column bases were seen. These archaeological stone remains were firstly catalogued. Afterwards, they were grouped according to their functions and historical suggestions were made. Because from these existing architectural remains that we evaluated throughout the study, it is concluded that the Beşgöz neighbourhood had a church structure belonging to the V-VI. centuries AD.
