In the period between the second millennium BC and the 14th century, this mound could have been the largest and the most important settlement in the surrounding area. Fifteen hundred years ago, as the population increased, the community settled on an adjacent higher hill as an agricultural village. A community village, which had been around for a thousand years, gradually grew into a noble man’s homestead, and then became a manor. On the mound, there is stone with a bowl.
