Location: The mound lies southwest of Siirt; 1.5 km north-northeast of Yokusbaglari (Susik) Village; on the east bank of Botan Suyu stream. Nowadays, the name of the village is Cicekyurdu.
Geography and Environment: The mound measuring 100x40 m in dimensions locates 6 km north of the point where Botan Suyu Stream joins Tigris River. The mound locates on a hiil and its surface slopes from west to east; towards a shallow ditch. It is located is at a spot where two high mountain ranges get very close to each other near the end of the Botan Suyu Valley to the south of this deep valley. The mound is located on a natural valley consisting of cobblestone deposits conveyed by the tributaries of Botan Suyu through floodings into the valley. The mound slopes from west to east towards a shallow ditch. The north section of the mound is bordered with a seasonal creek. The alluvial deposit carried by the creek formed a graveled flat area in the northwest section of the mound [Saglamtimur 2004a:463].
