The site lies on the western slopes of a sand dune where there is an open valley, presently under cultivation. The cultural material thickly scattered on the surface of the site indicates its occupation for a longer period. The surface finds include painted and applique pottery, terracotta chess-man, Chert blade and flake. On the basis of finds, the site is dated from the Hakra to the Kot Dijjian period (from the 4th to 3rd millennium BC).
