| Location: This site lies east-northeast of the city of Bursa; 500 m southwest of the village of Mentese. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound is small and is reported to be 4x100 m in size. It has been partially blocked by the road to Selimiye. In the 1960's there was a stadia-rod on top of the mound. It is 25 km from the settlement of Ilipinar. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is surrounded by fields that continue to its skirts. Yenisehir-Selimiye road and electricity poles are also destructing the site [TAYEx 16.7.2000]. The mound is being leveled since the archaeological excavations conducted in 2000 [TAYEx 12.8.2004]. The southwestern part of the road which passes from the middle of the mound has been decreased to the level of plain [B. Dinçer. 28.4.2005]. |
