| Location: It is located in Yeni Cami Quarter of Kavak District; some 40 km south of the Samsun Province. It is mistakenly introduced as Kavak in some publications. It can be easily reached through the Samsun-Kavak motorway. |
| Geography and Environment: It is an oval hill with steep slopes. It measures 25 m in height and 350x250 m in dimensions. It stands on a rocky block surfacing on the southern and eastern parts. The Aglidere Stream flows next to the mound. It overlooks the Kavak Plain on the south. It is located on a natural road reaching to Havza; Amasya from Samsun. It has been destroyed due to illicit diggings. The top hill has been flattened. Remains of a fortress are observed on the surface. |
| Destruction Details: Village houses were built on the north-northeastern skirt of the mound. Its eastern skirt was cut by an asphalt road [TAYEx 2.3.2003]. |
