| The mound lies 700 m northwest of the Kirikkale-Kizildere road; 1.5 km southwest of Kizildere Village; 9 km northeast of Kirikkale. It measures 175 m in diameter and 8.5 m in height. Exercises of ploughing and illicit digging have destroyed the mound partially. It is discovered in 1991 by the Japanese team conducted by S. Omura. From the surface; Chalcolithic Age and EBA sherds are collected and slag particles are recovered together with Iron Age sherds. Dating of the slag is problematic. |
