Site status at the time of survey :
On the site the outlines are visible of many small buildings. These are marked by lines of stones or in rectangular shapes. Most of them must have been monks residences (as most of them are about the same size (5 x5, 6 x6 steps). It is not clear where the temple buildings were situated, nor the number of the temples here. The whole area is about 80 m x 120 m and it is full of these foundations of buildings marked only by stones. Other things found on the site were pieces of pots (togoo) and pieces of wood (probably old pillars). Materials from the monastery are supposed to have been used for shelters for animals situated nearby to the north. The well the monks used is in the area, on the north-east, with foundations of those small buildings very near it on the south and west, a few meters away.
The holy mountain Bayan uul is on the north of the site, but some distance away. The area is surrounded by small hills and there is a lake (with water only if after rain) nearby in the south.
Before the survey visit, there had been rain in the area, and water was flowing through the site making it very difficult to survey and to make out the layout of the old monastery.
There is no ovoo that would be seen from the site. Bayan uul is not visible because of the hills nearby.
