| The mound lies 1.9 km west of Tüysüz Village; north of Ceyhan-Toprakkale motorway; east of Ceyhan District of Adana Province. It is locally known as Memetlerin Çiftligi (Memet's' Farm). It is a conical mound with a height of 12 m and looks on the slopes of Misis mountain. A small stream runs by below the mound. The late period wall remains on the surface of the mound have led to the thought that it was used as a fortress. It is discovered during the Cilicia Regional Survey conducted by M.V. Seton-Williams in 1951. The surface finds indicate settlement between Late Chalcolithic Age and Roman Period except for EBA. Chalcolithic Age finds consist of Coba ware sherds. |
