| Location: It lies northwest of the Küçük Evren Village; southeast of the Enez District; south-southwest of the Edirne Province. It is 300 m far from the village road connecting the village to the motorway (Enez-Kesan motorway). It is locally known as Üveyiktepe. |
| Geography and Environment: It is located on an alluvial elevation to the northwest and north of the Küçük Evren Village. It measures 8 m in height and 140x80 m in dimensions. It has an oval shape. The Incirli Stream flowing through the south; first passing to the north and then to the east has formed steeper slopes on these sections by truncation. The fresh water spring on the eastern foothill; probably; met the water requirements of the inhabitants. It is reported that the surface of the mound has been destroyed due to heavy cultivation [Basaran 1999:171]. |
| History: |
| Research and Excavation: The settlement was discovered in 1989 by S. Basaran. |
| Stratigraphy: Among the material collected from the surface are finds dating to Kumtepe Ib and EBA I-II. The fields on the western and southern parts of the mound yielded sherds dating to the Roman and Byzantine periods. |
| Small Finds: Pottery: Based on the presence of vertical forms of red washed ware also found at Troy II; the trade between the Aegean and Marmara Regions is pointed out. Handmade matt burnished sherds with a grey or brown paste were also found. Forms of deep and shallow S-profiled bowls with unrolled or slightly out-turning rims and plates are common. |
| Remains: |
| Interpretation and Dating: Basaran reports that the settlement of this mound called Pandir Bahçe or Üveyik Tepe or Küçük Evren Höyügü by the local villagers can be dated to the first half of the third millennium BC based on these finds. |
