| Location: It is located 1 km northeast of the Tevfikiye village; about 22 km northeast of the Ipsala District of the Edirne Province. It is also known as Arpa Tepe by the locals. |
| Geography and Environment: The settlement which lays under the rice fields today was flattened for cultivating purposes. The cultural deposit has been spread onto a wide terrain. It has been severely damaged and as a result of this destruction its height and dimensions are uncertain. There is an irrigation channel to its east and a tractor road that runs parallel to the channel. The building of Agriculture Cooperative made of mud bricks lies to the east of the road. |
| Destruction Details: A large amount of soil was removed from the mound and its surface was leveled. The results of the destruction can clearly be observed in the western part where a half moon shaped section was formed. A channel was dug into the middle of the highest area of the settlement [TAYEx 15.6.2000]. |
