| It is located 2 km north of Büyük Burunagil village of Hacibektas district of Nevsehir. East and west of the mound are marshy area. It is 40x50 m in dimension and approximately 30 m in height. There are smoothed stones which indicate a city wall remain on steep sloped rather upright and high part of the oval planned mound. EBA; MBA and Iron Age pottery sherds were collected from the surface. It was visited during the survey conducted by A. Türker in 2013. Türker stated that the mound is 488 m in diameter and 25 m in height. EBA sherds are in low density. However, IA, Hellenistic and Roman sherds are common. On the east and south edges of the mound, remains of wall (or rampart?) built with large white worked stones were seen. A round spindle whorl that could be dated to IA (or Roman Period?) was found [Türker 2015:234-235]. |
