| It is situated approximately 16 km southeast of the Kozan District in Adana. It seems that it has a particularly thick layer of cultural deposit from the Iron Age settlement. According to M.V. Seton-Williams who conducted a survey in Cilicia in 1951, red and black burnished ware that were collected are dated to the EBA. There are sherds dating from the Chalcolithic Age [Harmankaya et al. 1998:Tilan] until the Hellenistic Period [Seton-Williams 1954:131-171]. |
| Location: The mound is located in Tilan Quarter of Gökçeyol Village; 2.4 km southeast of Torunlar Village; approximately 16 km southeast of Kozan District; northeast of Adana Province. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound; including the natural hill it lies on; is 40 m high. It is believed that the cultural deposits comprise 20 m.
