The ancient settlement Zanrgar-kala is located in the Zhalagash district of the Kyzylorda region, 27.6 kilometers south and slightly east of the Zhanadarya village and 50.2 kilometers south-west of the Besaryk village and 14.4 kilometers north-west of the Koksenger hill height 171.2 meters above sea level.
The ancient settlement of Zanrgar-kala is located 3.3 kilometers northeast of the Sarly-tam mausoleum and belongs to the same historical period. Its layout has many features similar to the Sarly-tam settlement, a square citadel, the rounded outlines of a settlement with a diameter of 300 meters, a suburb adjoining the northern wall of the citadel.
However, there is a second outer wall covering a vast area of the surrounding area, with irrigated fields and buildings. All the walls of the Zanrgar-kala settlement are strongly eroded, the lifting ceramic material is identical to the Sarly-Tam one in terms of the ratio of stucco and handicraft non-glazed ceramics.
The found fragments of irrigation vessels date back to the X - XI centuries.
