Location: It lies northeast of the road at the Karahidir junction on Kaman-Kirsehir motorway; south of Karahidir Village; about 20 km northwest of Kirsehir Province. It is located about 25 km east of Kaman Kalehöyük.
Geography and Environment: It was also investigated by the Kaman Kalehöyük team. It measures 12.5 m in height and 500 m in diameter. The traces of the pits are visible on the eastern foothill. The villagers remove the soil from this part. The northern part of the flat mound ends in a soft inclination. As a result of the measurements taken during the beginning of the excavations in 2009 the mound is measured as 635 m in east-west direction and 500 m in north-south direction and 13 m in height [Omura 2011:361].
