It is located about 300-400 m far from Denizli-Acipayam motorway, 700 m south of Oguz Village in Acipayam District of Denizli Province. These mounds appear in the Denizli Culture Inventory which was achieved after the surveys organized by the Denizli Province Culture and Tourism Directorship in 2011. They are adjacent to each other. Bagardi Mound extends in the north-south direction and it is about 5-6 m in height. It covers an area of 200 m in length. A lot of potsherds belonging to Chalcolithic and BA and stone axes were seen on the surface. These finds suggest that the mound was inhabited in prehistoric period and then the settlement shifted to the Yug Mound at the end of BA.
