What little is known
Structure CD is one of Sayburç's least-published structures, and this entry is kept short on purpose. It is recorded as a probable special building adjacent to Structure CB in the southern area, with features reported as similar to CB but exposed over only a limited area. There is not yet enough excavated to give its plan, size or any decorative detail.
Because CD is so lightly exposed, the responsible position is to keep it separate from CB rather than assume the two are one building or exact matches. Whether CD is a distinct special building, an annex, or part of the same complex as CB is genuinely open, and the answer will depend on further excavation and fuller publication.
