It is located on the summit of the hill known as Cibirada in Keçiçayiri; near Bardakçi Village in Seyitgazi District of Eskisehir Province. During the salvage excavation which was carried out by Eskisehir Archaeological Museum Directorship under the scientific consultation of T. Efe between the years of 2006-2009, a EBA II fortress with two main phases was discovered on the summit of the hill. The fortress is surrounded by the city wall which some parts of it were built with large stones. The backsides of the houses which have independent walls lean against the city wall in accordance with "Anatolian Settlement Plan". The houses have thick walls and this suggests that these houses could be two-storeyed [Efe-Türkteki 2007:78-79].
