UGLUGCHIIN KHEREM


It is situated in the Daichin Mountain passing pine and larch forest, 45km southwest from Batshireet Soum of Khentii province and 8-10km from the confluence of Ugluch and Bayangol rivers. Uglugchiin Kherem is a fortress of neatly placed stone propped up against the mountain. It is 2.5-3 meters high, 2.5 meters wide and approximately 3km long. Traces of two graces have left in the front section. There are some remains of rolled-earth dams inside the fortress but some of them are can be barely distinguished from the ground. However, there weren’t any traces of building. A terrace of clay just attached to inner side of the fortress is regarded to be a platform where the 12th-14th century archers stood on.
