The site is situated about 2 km of the eastern bank of the Nile and 47 km north of Khartoum. It occupies an area of c. 150x180m (2700m2) on a sandy clay mound. The mound rises to about 4 meters above the surrounding plain. The stratigraphy of the site is complex, testifying to the fact that the site was exploited for a long period, both as a settlement and as a cemetery. Intervals must have separated the periods of its use, so the burials in the sites had often been destroyed when new human group came to the site
