Tsagaan Süm ruins

A Uyghur-period ruin.

Period
Uyghur Khaganate · 744–840
Location
Arkhangai aimag, Khotont soum

The Mongolian historical dictionary’s entry on Uyghur settlements places these ruins in Khotont soum, Arkhangai aimag.

Working interpretation

Another entry in the same dictionary lists this name alongside Bai Baliq, so the location is being checked further.
