| The mound lies in the high plateau between the houses of Birebir and Abdili villages; 3.6 km southeast of Firislik quarter; 4.9 km west of the village of Abdili; 30 km northeast of Mesudiye; southeast of Ordu. 2 km west of Abdili-Derebasi road. To its east flows the Yayla stream and to the southwest is the Abdili Plateau. The site is located in a watery valley. It is discovered in 1993 by M. Özsait who claims that most of the collected pottery is of the Early Bronze Age; but a few Chalcolithic sherds is present. It is therefore one of the debatable sites for Chalcolithic Age. |
