Location: It lies south of the Yozgat-Sivas motorway; about 500 m east of the Yozgat Province.
Geography and Environment: Çengeltepe stands on a volcanic rocky hill at the end of a soft and curved slope. Right across it lays Mercimektepe on the north. Through this low pass between the twin-settlements area runs a motorway. Almost two third of the hill have been destroyed by the brick quarries.
Destruction Details: The mound has been leveled; Tekel Beer Factory is on it [TAYEx 21.7.2002].
