Site of a disappeared medieval settlement, possibly to be identified as Summerkent. Much of the site is covered by modern buildings belonging to the modern Moshaik outskirt of Astrakhan. The southernmost part of the site includes the "Tatar Hill," which features an old Muslim cemetery. The area immediately to its east was subject to archaeological excavations in 1999. The archaeological remains date to the 10th-15th centuries.
