Ögomöör

Ögomöör lies near the Borkh River, between the eastern end of the great Mongol sand dunes and the rocky mountains of the Khangai. On a raised bank above the river stand the remains of three adjoining earthen enclosures, with ditches and traces of buildings within. Archaeological finds include fragments of blue and dark-glazed ceramics. The fortifications have been tentatively dated to the first half of the eighteenth century, when the Qing established military posts and settlements across Mongolia.
