A brigade was situated on this place. There are some recent buildings, which were built for this purpose. The ruins of the old monastery can be seen in amongst the brigade buildings with two walls remaining intact. The highest ruins are not more than 40 cm. However, the sites of the old temple buildings (4 in number) cannot be made out. According to the informants, two of them were made of wood, and two were made of bricks. The sites of the wooden temples normally cannot be seen, as there were totally ruined, but sometimes stones mark the edge of the structures. Here we could not find any such signs. The other two temple sides (made of brick) were not found either. But many small buildings in rows were found on the site, which were the monks’ residences. Here bricks and mud remnants clearly show where the monks’ residences were situated. On the south-east side, there are two winter dwelling are with stone and brick walls (övöljöö).
