It is the slope settlement located in the west of Deçe Mevkii, 500 m west of Tosunlu Village, in the region of Tektek Mountains, 60 km southeast of Sanliurfa Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by B. Çelik and his team in 2015. The settlement faces to the south. Any architectural remains were not determined on the surface due to agricultural activities. Potsherds dated to EBA, Neolithic flint blade, flake, scraper, and an obsidian blade piece and basalt grinding stone fragment were found [Çelik 2017:339].
