| Location: It is adjacent to the Polatli District; about 65 km southwest of the Ankara Province [Lloyd-Gökçe 1951:photograph at pl.II]. It is; probably; where it is called Zafer Höyügü. At present; it is surrounded by the modern town. |
| Geography and Environment: It has a circular shape; 25 m in height and 200 m in diameter. It has been severely damaged by the local villagers during the removal of clay earth; largely in the northern and southern sections of the mound. There is a fresh water spring nearby. |
| Destruction Details: The mound locating in downtown is seriously damaged by the buildings and roads around it; which have been constructed by cutting the skirts [TAYEx 4.7.2002]. |
