It is 34 m high in the south direction. The north and west parts are steep and rocky while the south and east parts are less curved. It is an oval shaped mound with double cone and it extends in the north-south direction. Kocasu Creek originating from the northwest flows from its west and continues from its north to east. Traces of a single row of city wall can be seen on the east section. Middle Age walls with brick-dust are located on the north and southeast sections. Foundations of wall belonging to the structures can be seen on the north (upper) part.
