| Location: The site lies approximately 30 km northwest of the centrum of Elazig; 5.7 km south of Asvan; and 2.5 km northeast of the village of Engüzek. It is partially inundated today by Keban Dam. It was possible to get to the mound from Elazig-Çemisgezek road previous to the inundation. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound used to lie on the west bank of the valley of the small stream that first joined with Kuruçay Stream and then with Euphrates. It is 3 m high and 125 m in diameter. There is a poor fresh water spring at the northern skirt of the mound. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is partly flooded by dam reservoir [TAYEx 14.7.2003]. |
