The mound lies 2.2 km south of Aliköy Village; 8 km northeast of Isparta Province. The site was discovered by M. Özsait during the 1984 and 1985 Isparta Prehistoric Survey. The mound is 7 m high and 150x100 m in size. It is seriously destroyed because of being used as an orchard. Most of the material is of the Early Bronze Age; but the large vertical pierced lugs similar; and yet coarser than those recovered at the mounds in Burdur region hint the existence of a Late Chalcolithic Age. Therefore; the mound is one of the debatable sites for the Chalcolithic Age. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
