Location: The site lies approximately 18 km south of Kirklareli; 1.5 km north of Yeniköy Village; 600-750 m east of Yanciklar or Nacaklar Village. One can get to the mound via Babaeski-Kirklareli highway taking Yeniköy road after 12 km from Babaeski. The settlement is 4.9 km from Yeniköy turning. The road between Yeniköy and Karabayir passes through northern section of the mound.
Geography and Environment: The site was severely damaged by taking out sand; for producing cement; from the layers below the cultural deposit. Therefore; a large pit with very long sections was formed at the center. The mound; located on the east bank of Seytanderesi; measures 180x130 m due to the distribution of ceramics. The thickness of the cultural deposit is not more than 1 m at the section [Özdogan 1982b:3-4]. Two little creeks from the slopes of Eski Baglik and Kocayer join and empty into Seytanderesi.
Destruction Details: A large amount of earth has been removed from the southeastern section of the settlement and the mound has lost its shape. To the east of this section a military building was built. The surface of the hill is partially cultivated [TAYEx 12.6.2000].
