The size is 80 h 84 meters including outside water channel. There is the big mound near of western wall in side rammed wall. There were some fragments of bricks and roof tiles surrounded of this mound. This mound made by earth, stones and bricks.
Also, there were two small mounds east of the big mound. They are not high, but there were many bricks and roof tiles surround of those small mounds.
During the excavation we found a chamber tomb from under big mound. There buried 3 people, together, but much destroyed by looters and their bones were much moved and changed. Also, some bones discovered all 9 people skeletons from this site. Some people buried together. Most tombs were looted, but we found some bronze earrings and buttons.
Also, we found many findings such as stone architectural fragments, stone figures with animal head; dragon fragments which from stele, damaged ceramic lion and many architectural fragments during this excavation.

Khovd project
During the 2007 field season, the project noted 136 burials, investigated three elite tomb complexes of the Xiongnu Empire (3rd century BCE – 1st century CE), seven satellite burials and three ritual stone lines from two tomb complexes at the cemetery of Tahiltiin hotgor cemetery. one new discovery was the details of the ritual stone lines which are arranged parallel to the north walls of the large tombs and contain burnt crushed animal bones. These finds help to clarify the ritual nature of the Xiongnu elite cemeteries. We excavated one tomb complex. The burial goods from the main tomb, satellite burials were very similar to bone and iron artifacts in Xiongnu graves throughout Mongolia and South Siberia. In addition, the structure of the main tomb, which was carefully documented, showed signs of multi-staged funerals for the elite.
