| It lies to the immediate north of the Zile-Turhal motorway, 5 km southeast of the Ede Village in the Zile District of Tokat. It is also called Agilkaya. It was discovered by a team under the direction of M. Özsait during the Zile Survey conducted in 1998. It has been heavily destroyed due to structuring and illicit diggings. It measures 120x80 m in dimensions. Sherds indicating the presence of EBA, MBA and Iron Age settlements were collected from the surface. |
