Site status at the time of survey :
The site is on the north-west of Ajirkhai bag. Stone foundations / bases of buildings and some yurts are still visible on the site. Brass fragments of pots, etc. are scattered in the area. However, it must be noted that there is a winter residence for herders behind the monastic site thus these fragments need not be very old. There is an interesting 8 x 8 steps (square shaped) pile of stones the function of which is not clear. There was a well on the east and a brook in the west. Bayan bor ovoo is situated in the background. Bayanzürkh range is far in the west. There was no trace of digging. It seems that the buildings in this monastic complex were made of wood.
