It is situated west of the Haci Stream, north of the coastal road between the Mollaköfte and Gemici Villages, 1100 m northwest of the Mollaköfte Village in Elazig. Located on a natural elevation, it covers an area of ca. 70x190 m surrounded by higher hills. The hilltop on which the settlement is located is not flat. Traces of the stone walls are observed on the ground. There are small pits resulting from soil removal. Some Iron Age sherds were recovered. |
