The tumuli appear in the Isparta Culture Inventory which was achieved after the surveys organized by the Isparta Province Culture and Tourism Directorship in 2009. Tumulus I which is located on the west of Egirdir Lake is about 20 m in height and 30-35 m in diameter. A dried up stream bed locates to its west. Tumulus II which is located about 30 m west of tumulus I is flat and 5 m in height and 10-15 m in diameter.
