| It is situated on the Ceritkale Armutlu motorway in the dried bank of the Ömer stream, 2 km south of the Keskin Village of the Keskin District, south-southeast of Kirikkale. It was found during the Central Anatolian Survey conducted under the direction of S. Omura in 1990. It has been ploughed for a long period of time, resulting in loss of its original shape. Its diameter in north-south direction is 170 m, and it is 6 m high. There is a thick, approximately 50 m long wall on the western slope of the mound in north-south direction. The other building remains to the immediate east of the wall have been also well preserved. Several EBA, 2nd and 1st Millennia BC sherds were collected from the surface. |
