This settlement site lay c.500m to northeast of the oval hill on the west bank facing Melik en Nasr village, and c.150m from the river bank; facing the upstream (west end) of Turmukki island. It was located on a gently sloping plateau of sand-covered rocks with a surface scatter of stone flakes and a small quantity of sherds, covering an area of c.100m-150m; lying c.20-21.8m above river level (in April 1968).

Two test trenches (c.125m²) were excavated in 1968 by Lars Gezelius. Finds included haematite polished wares, drab burnished and some coarser wares (H1.01A H2.01, H4.01A, H4.01B, H4.11D identified). A fragment of a quartzite palette of classic A-Group type suggests a date for this material. A very well made square knife/scraper of Egyptian flint was another noteworthy find amongst other Egyptian flint, chert and quartz lithics.
