The mound measures 289 m in the north-south direction and 594 m in the east-west direction. It covers an area of 17 hectares. The settlement extends towards the area in the northwest of the mound. The mound consists of three artificial terraces. The fields located to the northwest of the mound yielded worked stones, burials and potsherds. Remins of a stone wall foundation with a width of 2-2.5 m was found in the south of those fields. The wall continues 50 m towards the mound. The potsherds recovered from the mound are dated from Neolithic to Roman Period. Large pithos sherds and a great number of tile fragments belonging to Roman Period were found. The potsherds dated to the 3rd-2nd millennium BC indicate that the mound was inhabited these periods [Maner 2015:31]. |
