From 2011 to 2018, the Danang Museum of Cham Sculpture collaborated with experts from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities under the Hanoi National University to carry out 3 excavation and research projects to evaluate historical and architectural values of the site.
The researchers also discovered part of a Cham temple tower, sculpture arts and many valuable artifacts related to the culture and religious life of the indigenous Cham people dating from the 9th, 10th and 12th centuries.
