The site was surveyed between 1946 and 1967. It was one of the largest settlements in the Hellenistic era.

To the west of the village, lies a citadel of irregular plan. Known in Turkmen as Khusrau Kala, this is dated to post-Parthian times and probably served as the summer residence of Khosrow I. Besides the citadel, are the ruins of a walled settlement.
