Religion: Unknown.
Main features: Organic compound; staggered square.
State of preservation: Only the base of the temple is still standing.
Description: This site, in a poor state of preservation, has partly been excavated. It was made of at least two structures, a temple and a rectangular building (now disappeared).
The temple was composed of a square base (8.75m x 8.75m) and a staggered square body (6.50m x 6.50m). Although its orientation is unknown (east or west), its axis is SE-NW and 6-7° from magnetic north.
The rectangular structure, may be some kind of pendopo, was located 25m south of the temple.71 It was roughly 4m (east-west) x 6m (north-south).72 As the square temple, the building axis is SE-NW, but it is more than 10° from magnetic north.

Religion: Hindu.
Main features: Sanctuary type 2; facing east; square with porch; enclosure wall.
State of preservation: The main temple is the best preserved and is still standing up to the foot of the temple body. Secondary temples are mere foundations. Traces of the western gopura of the enclosure are still visible too.
Description:
The compound is formed from one main temple, three secondary shrines and an enclosure wall.
The main temple faces east.
Its exact orientation would be 74° 06’ (Siswoyo 1996: 9).
Its base is 8.40m square, with a projection on the eastern side. The temple body is 5.90m square, with a porch on the east.
Its northern, western and southern sides possessed a deep central niche flanked by two smaller and shallow niches (Perquin 1927b: 156).
A 2.40m long vestibule leads to the cella, which is 2.50m square.
Three secondary shrines face the main temple. They all follow the same pattern: they face west and are roughly 3.40m square, with a projection on the western side.
More or less 5.5m west from the main temple are visible remains of a gopura and an enclosure wall.
Sculptures: On the sides of the staircase leading to the main temple are carved two male figures.
Several free-standing sculptures can still be found on the temple ground: one Durgā
(originally found near the northern side of the temple, Bosch 1926:16), one Ganeśa, one yoni, two bulls, one seated female figure, one male figure seated “à l’européenne”, another seated male figure and one unfinished Ganeśa.

Religion: Buddhist.
Main features: Sanctuary type 4 facing west.
State of preservation: Only bases remain.
Description: Up to now, four buildings have been excavated6. Three of them form the “main compound”. The fourth structure, located some 50m away, constitutes the “secondary compound”.
The main compound is formed from a central temple and two secondary structures standing in a row.
The base of the main building is 4,50m square, with a projecting staircase to the west. Unfortunately, nothing remains of the temple body, except the 1m square cella pit.
The secondary structures are located to the north and south of the central temple. Only 2,40m square foundations remain. Curved stones with padma-mouldings found around the compound suggest that these secondary constructions were actually stūpa.
Remains of another structure are visible 4m to the south of the southern secondary building. Whether this was a temple, a stūpa or part of an enclosure is not known.
The secondary compound is not on a line with the main compound. It houses only one small square base.
