Location: It lies on both banks of the Haydar stream; 250 m east of the road running to the Asilbeyli Village from Kirklareli; about 500 m south of the Kirklareli Province.
Geography and Environment: The Kanligecit settlement has been partly destroyed by the Kirklareli railroad. It divides the settlement into two. When discovered in 1981; the settlement was evaluated separately in three parts; Kanligecit north (B5/17); Kanligecit south (B5/18) and Kanligecit east (B5/16). Kanligecit North is an acropolis of the EBA settlement. After the excavation; the walls in the trenches were supported with wooden beams; the trenches were covered with nylon for protection.
