| It lies on a low terrace on the bank of Kizilirmak; 4 km southwest of the village of Hasandede; 10 km southwest of the province of Kirikkale. Illicit pits were observed on the eastern slope. It measures 150 m in diameter and 5 m in height. It was discovered in 1991 during the survey of Central Anatolia conducted by S. Omura. Around the mound were observed white stone blocks which were probably brought from the settlement. The surface finds were dated to the EBA; the first half of the second millennium BC; Iron Age; Byzantine and Ottoman periods. |
