Site status at the time of survey :
It seems that 3 temples belonged to the complex, two made of bricks and one made of wood. 4 large courtyards, monks dwellings and probably 2 stupas were situated in the area. It is an area surrounded by hills and there was a river there, too. Relic hunters had visited the site. Equipment (spoons, pots, etc.), burnt wood, pieces of newspapers and a history book from the 1940s were found. As the buildings were made of brick and mud some traces remain.
