| Location: This Balikesir site lies on and by a small tumulus 500 m northwest of the village of Esenköy; which is north of the city. Code H 9/2. |
| Geography and Environment: The low-lying Balikesir Plain and the mountains surrounding it formed tectonically. The alluvial deposits carried by the rivers leveled the rolling terrain. There are volcanic andesite rock-outcrops north of the undulating plains; which extend north of the city. |
| Destruction Details: The findspot is damaged because of a dirt road [TAYEx 4.7.2000]. |
