It was discovered in 1925 by Russian scholars B.Ya.
Vladimortsov and B.B.Baradin during their archaeological
research for remains of ancient towns and settlements
in Baga Khentii or Kherlengiin Terelj and vicinity
of Ikh and Baga lakes. Later, Kh. Perlee made some
archaeological excavations and came up with the definition
and excavation map of the ruins of town. At the time
of the excavation "Undur Dov" have battered
remains of the fortified walls around the town, traces
of the elevated structure on the walls, which were
presumably used for observation by sentries and the
remains of the square-shaped building in the center
of the fortress.The wall is 410x420 m square, 1.5-1.2
