| Location: It lies 1.6 km northwest of Seydiler Village; southeast of Tefenni District of Burdur Province. A dirt road passes 150 east of the mound. In some publications; it is called Seydiler Höyük. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound lies in the southwestern corner of the Tefenni Plain; which was a swamp until recently. On the northern flanks of Mount Bölükler; only 100 m south of the site; is a spring known as Kocapinar. The inhabitants of this site must have used this spring as a water source. Özsait reports that this medium-sized mound is 10 m high and 120 m east-west. Especially the western and northern flanks of the mountain have faced damage. The sides of the mound are not very steep [Özsait 1986b:fig 7]. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities and illicit diggings. The pit on top hill measuring 2x5 m extends towards the other pits on southern slope. The leveled part on eastern slope and all of the skirts are being cultivated [TAYEx 14.6.2001]. |
