It was discoevered in 1991 during the Central Anatolian Surveys conducted under the direction of S. Omura. It measures 139 m in diameter, and ca. 18 m in height. Very large pits from illicit diggings are observed on the southern slope. In this section, wall remains of stone blocks are traced strecthing approximately for 30 m in east-west direction. The sherds collected from the surface are dated to the Early Bronze Age, Iron Age and Hellenistic Period. |
