| It is located at Iliman Mevkii; 4.4 km northwest of Yesilöz Village; northeast of Gülsehir District; north-northwest of Nevsehir Province. It was named after the nearest village. It can be easily reached through the Yesilöz-Hacibektas motorway. The mound lies 2 km far west of the motorway. A surface collection was carried out in 1997 by S.Y. Senyurt. The site had been inhabited more or less continuously from the Neolithic Age to the Hellenistic-Roman Periods. It is a conic mound. It measures 23 m in height and 35x25 in dimensions. It looks like a tumulus. Pottery of the Neolithic-Chalcolithic Ages usually came from the western terrace. It is one of the major settlements in the region.
