Location: It lies 3.6 km southwest of the village of Çavdarli; about 12 km east of Afyonkarahisar Province.
Geography and Environment: It is located on the lowland formed by the Akarçay Stream. It measures ca. 6 m in height and ca. 200-250 m in diameter. The well located on the north probably supplied the water to the EBA and Roman Period inhabitants. An old river channel passes by the mound.
Destruction Details: Illicit digging pits were observed on the eastern part of the mound. The northern skirt was cut by a dirt road [TAYEx 2.10.2000].
