Tarsus İlçe merkezindeki höyük, iki tepeden oluşmaktadır. Orta Çağ’da höyük üzerinde bir gözetleme kulesinin bulunması, Gözlükule isimlendirmesini sağlamış olmalıdır. Neolitik Döneme ait obsidien aletler ve pişmiş toprak kap parçaları ele geçmiştir. Basit taş temel üzerine kerpiç duvarlı evler ile dar sokaklar ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
