It is documented during the survey carried out by Biber-Çavuşoğlu in 2009. Its altitude is 1,488 m. The round planned mound has a diameter of 285 metres. Liz Creek surrounds its South and East which then pours to Alpaslan 1 Water Reservoir. While the West side of the mound is flat its East side is fairly steep and 43 m high. No architectural remains are seen on the mound, but some remains of walls are encountered in the cross-sections caused by destruction. And many pieces of pottery from EBA, MBA, EIA, MIA and MA are encountered on and around the mound.
