| Location: This site lies northeast of the city of Antakya; 8 km north of Harim. |
| Geography and Environment: This small; low-lying mound lies in the Amuq Plain north of Kizil Irk Stream; which springs from the Reyhanli Region and flows west. The inhabitants of the mound may have used Kizil Irk Stream as their main water source. The soil surrounding the mound in the Amuq Plain in general is very fertile. This plain; also called the Hatay Plain; lies in the low area between Maras and Antakya. Lake Antioch; which is fed by the Karasu and Afrin Streams; lies in the lowest part of the plain. The lake has shrunk immensely in size. The Amuq Plain is bounded by the Amanos Mountains to the west; the Kuseyr Plateau to the south and Mount Kurt to the northeast. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities. It has been leveled in a big scale for cultivation [TAYEx 21.7.2001]. |
