It is from east to west, about 170 meters long from east to west and about 21 meters wide from north to south. It is a remnant of 16 rooms, a long slat building 2 rooms deep. Currently, 16 grooves from north to south have been exposed in the ruins of this large-scale house. Archaeologists speculate that these slots are used for ventilation and moisture prevention. The wood used to build pilasters is pine, which can prevent insects and moisture. Millets were found in the float soil samples from the ruins, and rows of grain storage pits were also found under the rammed earth platform and a large quantity of millets were dug up.
Archaeologists preliminarily believe that this is a large-scale storage relic, and based on the trench structure found at the construction site and the relics unearthed, the site is likely the site of the foundation of a large barn building. in the Western Han dynasty.

Compared with Han Chang’an City Arsenal and Jingshi Warehouse, there are similarities and differences, but the main functions should be storage functions. It is the first suspect barn building in a western Han Dynasty border town unearthed in China. It provides imaging data for the study of storage buildings in the Han Dynasty border city, as well as new data for the study of the design and connotation of the Han Dynasty border city.
