2.3 km north-west of the Lyalakh complex, between two huge blocks of rocks, a damaged unique guard three-storey battle tower of the XV century, Magoy-Dzhel, erected under the Tsei-Loam mountain pass, at the beginning of the Chulkhoy gorge, oriented walls strictly to the cardinal points, had a flat roof with a jagged finish and preserved to a height of 14 m. The walls of the tower rest on the rocks, and the foundation of the front southern wall emerges from the ground. At the right wall of the tower, under the rock, there is a small passage for sheep. Among these rocks, between which the tower is located, a peculiar cave was formed, which has an uneven shape and an area of almost 90 square meters. There are 2 entrances, one of which was intended for sheep.

The Magoy-Jel Battle Tower is part of the Dzhirakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is an identified object of cultural heritage protected by the state.
