| It is situated next to the road to the Dirgenli Village between Özderesi and Yükderesi, 5 km south of the Ortaköy District. It has an approximate height of 20 m and a diameter of 100 m. Traces of illicit diggings are observed on the hilltop. The fields around it have advanced in time upwards from the skirts, which resulted in heavy destruction. It seems that the building level from the 2nd Millennium BC bears devastating traces of fire with plenty of slags. Several 2nd Millennium BC, Iron Age, and Classical Age sherds were collected from the surface. |
