| It is situated in the Çayirli (Siirttan) Village, 200 km north of the Kurtalan-Batman motorway, approximately 12 km west of the Kurtalan District, 35 km west of Siirt as the crow flies. With a height of 25 m, and a diameter of 175 m, it is a pretty large settlement. The eastern slope has been obscured by the modern village settlement of the same name. It is reported that there also was a house on the hilltop during the survey in 1963. The mound lies within a narrow valley composed by the Göl Stream, which should be the one referred in the publication, flowing 100 m to the northwest. It contains probably the plain ware belonging to the first half of the 1st Millennium BC, and a similar group of red coated, burnished and wheelmade ware (particularly seen at Nemrut, Tell Halaf's Kabara level, Amique phase O, Syro-Hittite level at Hama and Palestinian Early Iron Age II). |
