It was the site of a bridge over the Maeander. The scanty ruins are located on a hill (named, in Turkish, Yeniser) a few km southeast of Kuyucak, Aydin Province, Turkey, near the modern city of Basaran.

It has not been excavated, but Christopher Ratte and others visited the site in 1994 and produced a sketch plan.
