  • The site of Candi Kampung Baru was discovered in 2015, making it one of the most recent archaeological discoveries in the Bujang Valley. 2 phases of excavation had been carried out by archaeologists from the Institute of Malay World and Civilization (ATMA), in which a single unroofed, rectangular brick structure had been unearthed. Based on the analysis of archaeological remains, the candi has been identified as a 9th-10th century structure. Using measurements taken on-site, a digital model had been constructed to visualize the ancient structure, interpret its function and facilitate potential physical reconstruction in the future.
