| Location: It is located in the Düvenci Plain; southwest of the Çorum-Samsun highway; between the village and the motorway; 400 m northwest of the Kussaray or Kizsaray Village; some 15 km northeast of Çorum Province. |
| Geography and Environment: It looks like a flat hill; 20-25 m high; covered by limestones. Excavation yielded a cultural deposit of ca. 4 m thick. It is suggested that a 150x100 m sized part of the hill was ringed by fortification walls. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities [TAYEx 19.7.2002]. |
