The mound; lowered down to the level of the plain because of being ploughed; lies 1 km northwest of Yasarlar Village; northeast of Aksehir District of Konya Province. It was discovered during the survey around Aksehir conducted by M. Özsait in 1990. According to him; Early Chalcolithic Age sherds were collected from the surface. He claims that the lower layers of the mound were visible. Therefore; it was possible to collect Chalcolithic Age finds.
Location: This site lies in Gölyolu Mevkii; 300 m northwest of the site of Taslik Höyük; 1 km northwest of the town of Yasarlar; northeast of Aksehir District of Konya Province.
Geography and Environment: The name of the site; which lies south of Aksehir Lake and in the Aksehir Plain; has been given by Özsait after the district in which it lies. There are many fertile agricultural fields surrounding the mound. The mound is not much higher than the level of the plain and faces the threat of completely disappearing due to continual plowing. Its original height cannot be determined. The dimensions of the base of the mound have similarly not been reported. Finds are scattered in a wide area.
