| Geography and Environment: Measuring 160x70 m in dimensions; southeastern part of the mound is obscured by the village houses. It also has been damaged by State Dispensing Units to build a water tank. The mound is located on the eastern part of a plain having valleys on both sides. |
| Destruction Details: There are fields that are being cultivated on and around the hill. Its eastern slope has been damaged due to contemporary settlements and agricultural activities. The south-southwestern slope was cut during the construction of a road and the cultural layers have become visible in these section [TAYEx 14.9.2000]. |
