| Location: The site is located to the north of Sahintepe (Till Sahn) village in the district of Bismil in Diyarbakir province. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound is on a promontory projecting into the valley floor on the south bank of Tigris; separated from the mainland by a natural rocky outcrop with the appearance of a peninsula extending into the valley to its south. To the north and west it is bounded by Tigris; and to the east by Çölemezri Dere; which flows from the south and empties into Tigris after skirting the mound. The modern village begins from the southeastern slope of the hill. |
| Destruction Details: The northern section of the mound was entirely damaged due to soil removal and floods. |
