| The mound is located northeast of Manisa; west-southwest of Akhisar district; in the western setion of Mecidiye (Palamut) Village; adjacent to the old mosque. It was discovered in 1959 during a survey conducted by D.H. French. The top hill is obscured by Mecidiye Village. It measures 5 m in height and 100 m in diameter. Presence of sherds on the walls of the modern houses exposes that the soil of the mound was used while making mud-walling. Grey/black burnished and red slipped sherds of the EBA were collected from the surface. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
