With the discovery of statues archaeologists assume the existence of sacred buildings and also the rest of the supporting community holy buildings. Statements of local residents claimed there was a large mound that is considered haunted and is called "Lemah Duhur Lanang", which was situated not far from the location of the discovery of a statue of Vishnu. This place estimated to be the remains of buildings that had collapsed. Until 1993, the ruins of buildings contained in the Site Cibuaya totaling seven contained in the Sector CBY 1 to 6. Two of them are found in ruins CBY Sector 5, and adjacent to each other.
From all the temple found on the Site Cibuaya, the most interesting is the ruin of Lemah Duhur Lanang. Almost square buildings made of brick with size 9 × 9.6 meters and two meters high, facing west toward the ocean with stairs 2.2 meters width. Fractional parts of foundations made of bricks mixed with gravel and stone. At the top of the ruins of buildings Weak Lanang Duhur there is a phallus which is still standing in-situ. Lingga, measuring 111 cm high and 40 cm in diameter. Lingga shape itself is not a perfect form of lingga (phallus) because it has no octagon shape (wisnubhaga). There are only a part square shape ("brahmabhaga") and circular shape ("rudrabhaga"). With the discovery of phallus in context with the sacred buildings and statues of Vishnu which were found nearby, it can be concluded that the Lemah Duhur Lanang building is sacred to Hindu.
