This mound, located on the southern part of a separate hill, is distinguished by its impressive shape resembling a truncated cone. The hill stretches approximately 350 meters in a north-south direction, with a width varying between 145 and 180 meters. The highest western slope rises over 20 meters, while the other slopes are 7 to 9 meters high. The northern slope is the gentlest and lowest. The upper part of the mound has been leveled, featuring a platform that is oval in shape and elongated in the northeast-southwest direction, measuring 18 meters in length and 11 meters in width. The platform is surrounded by a rampart that is 0.6 meters high and 7 meters wide, with its southern edge being somewhat lower. On the southern and eastern sides, a terrace 4 meters wide is situated 1.5 meters below the rampart. This mound is dated to the 1st-2nd millennium BC, underscoring its significance in historical and cultural contexts.
