| Location: The site lies southwest of Çanakkale; approximately 2.1 km south-southwest of Yeniköy; northeast of Besige Cape; under the steep tumulus. |
| Geography and Environment: Besige Cape; surrounding Koca Liman (Besige Harbor) Cove from the north; is a round extension towards the Aegean Sea. It was known as Besiktepe for many years. The excavations revealed the Hellenistic Period tumulus that stands 18 m higher than sea level together with the mound and the elevation made of limestone beneath it. |
