| It lies on a low terrace on the bank of Kizilirmak (Halys River), 4 km southwest of the Hasandede Town, 10 km southwest of Kirikkale within the borders of the Merkez District in Kirikkale. The southern slope is pretty inclined, and traces of illicit diggings are observed on the eastern slope. It measures 150 m in diameter, and 5 m in height. It was discovered in 1991 during the surveys conducted under the direction of S. Omura in Central Anatolia. White stones, probably belonging to the mound, are observed in the neighbourhood. Majority of the surface finds are dated to the EBA, the first half of the 2nd Millennium BC, and the Iron Age. Also found are material from the Byzantine and Ottoman Periods. |
