| Location: This site lies northeast of the city of Manisa; northeast of the town of Saruhanli; approximately 400 km northeast of the village of Kayislar. It is possible to get to this site by taking the turnoff to Kayislar from the Manisa-Akhisar highway. |
| Geography and Environment: The small mound; which lies on a low ridge; is oval in shape. It is 80 m long north-south; 50 m long east-west and 3-4 m high. Today the surface of the mound is cultivated. There is a dirt village road on the eastern side of the mound and a spring at the western foot of the mound. In 1965; when the site was surveyed; the area west of the mound was a swamp. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is severely damaged due to agricultural activities. There is a 1 m difference in the elevations of the two fields in the middle section [TAYEx 13.9.2000]. It was researched again by E. Akdeniz et al. in 2007 and found that it was entirely flattened [Akdeniz 2009:257]. |
