| Location: This site lies southwest of the city of Konya; 7.5 km east of the town of Seydisehir and west of the village of Bagra. The mound; published as Kanal Höyük; is locally also called Üzümlü Höyük; Baglasi Höyük and Höyük Baglari. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound lies in the middle of the Seydisehir Plain; immediately west of the point where the Beysehir Canal Stream forks. East of the Beysehir underground stream; which lies along the tectonic depression between Beysehir and Sugla; is the volcanic Mount Alacadag and Mount Erenler while high hills formed by tectonic movements lie west of this stream. The Plain is covered by a thick layer of alluvial deposit. The Beysehir underground stream was formed by the flow of the excess water from Lake Beysehir to the 30 m lower Lake Sugla. Today the underground stream no longer empties into Lake Sugla and instead joins Çarsamba Stream via the Balikova Strait. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities. It is cultivated. There is a water channel around it [TAYEx 10.7.2001]. |
