One of the many sites with this name, this small mound is located in the fish farms of ‘Lake’ Edku and is visible from the main new road running from Rosetta to Alexandria. The site is roughly circular, with a central mound of about 4m high and a crescent shaped ridge on the northern side. The original greater extent of the mound can be seen on the satellite imagery. There is a good amount of pottery, including African Red Slip ware, on the surface and red brick fragments. The whole area is covered in Late Antique Roman pottery and glass. Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey no. 635.
