| It lies on the northeastern part of the Batman-Raman motorway; 4 km southeast of Batman Province. It is one of the rare settlements located in the Batman Plain. It measures 5 m in height and 30 m in diameter. Although it was stated that the slopes of the mound are obscured by the modern village; there is no village where P. Benedict indicated the mound is located. Tilmis Village is illustrated to the southeast of the mound in the section M 46 of the 1:100.000 map. Therefore; further investigation is necessary. It was first documented during the Prehistoric Survey of Southeastern Anatolia in 1963. EBA materials were recovered. It is coded under S 61 / 2. |
