The Kalibukbuk Temple was only recovered in recent times when excavations were carried out from 1994-2000, all that remained standing was the foundation. It is believed to have been originally constrcuted sometime from the 8th century onwards. The buildings have been recently reconstructed by archeologists working at the site. The main building is an open temple with a large stūpa overhead. There are two other smaller buildings (perwara) on either side of the main building which are rectangular is shape. There is a split gateway (candi bentar) with the usual barrier (aling-aling). The whole is set in well-maintained, quiet and peaceful gardens. Also discovered on site were clay seals bearing the usual incscription, transliterated as: Ye dharma heru prabha | We hetun tesan tathagato | Hyawodat test ceyo ni | Rodha ewam wadi maha srammanah. The seal in now in the Bali Museum in Denpasar.
