It is located on the Beysehir-Sarkikaraagaç motorway where the ridges of Sülüklü overlook the Lake Beysehir. Since there are some other mounds; names unknown; in the surrounding territory; it was called Höyük C by J. Mellaart who discovered it. Sherds of EBA I and II were collected from the surface.
