A Neolithic site dating from the 7th millennium BCE with nine levels of settlement up to the Chalcolithic Era, in Kırklareli Province, Turkey
It is thought that this tumulus was flattened for its valuable grave goods by the Russians invading Kirklareli in the late 19th century. The upper levels were probably destroyed by a tumulus that was built on top of the mound in the Late Antiquity.
