It is oval-shaped and 8 m high above the plain level. It has been damaged due to illicit diggings and heavy cultivation which resulted in a profile on the southwestern part of the mound. Only EBA pottery was recovered from the surface. It is reported that the spouted jar found on the western section has the characteristics of Western Anatolia EBA tradition.
