| It lies 20-30 m below, southwest of Basrikale, which is 1.5 km southwest of the Basri Village. It rests on a tongue-shaped hill, 200-250 m far from Basrikale. It has a base diameter of about 20-25 m, and a height of 10 m. Illicitly dug pits are observed at 5 to 6 different spots on the tumulus. It is located at a spot which can view the Midas Tumulus. Among the sherds spreaded onto the environment are metal-like, grey ware which can be dated to the 5th to 6th centuries BC. |
