Koshoj-Korgon, located in the centre of the
high-mountainous At-Bashy valley, at the altitude of 2500 m, is a square
construction with the sides 250 х 245 m long. Walls are made of paksa and mud
blocks (remained height from 4 to 8 m). The structure is surrounded by a ditch,
from 11 to 14 m in width. Excavations revealed remains of inhabited and
manufacture constructions inside the settlement, as well as outside. It is
identified with the medieval historical city of At-Bash, which mainly
functioned in IX-XII centuries AD, but was also live in Timur's times.
Sites of Koshoj-Korgon, Shyrdakbek, Cholok-Korgon, caravan-sarays Tash-Rabat and Manakeldy are in quite good condition; however state of adobe walls is not stable. Especially for Koshoj-Korgon, where some parts of defensive walls are affected by natural and anthropogenic factors. A site museum, constructed in 2007, is intended not only for exhibiting of materials from the site, but also for its protection and preservation. The limited erosion of adobe structures at Shyrdakbek and Manakeldy sites is detected. Restoration works at Tash-Rabat were carried out in the late seventies of the last century. As a whole, sites of these series have kept authenticity and integrity. In the framework of the new National Program on Research, Preservation and Use of Monuments of Historical and Cultural Heritage, which is being developed, the priority will be given to the monuments of the remote regions, including Inner Tien Shan.
