The temple's layout was identified and a number of artifacts were found. However, Ishida's research attempted to link the temple to Buddhist temples in Japan; a writer for the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture argued such research was done during the colonial period to justify Korea's colonization. It was excavated from 2005 to 2007.
