Untuk menuju ke situs ini ialah dengan melalui jalan Yogya Solo, tepat di gerbang batas propinsi Yogya - Klaten di dekat Candi Prambanan, belok menuju gang kecil tepat di samping gerbang bataspropinsi.
Ikuti jalan tersebut hingga menuju ke atas bukit Prambanan hingga melewati SD Sumberwatu, kemudian akan bertemu dengan pertigaan jalan, belok ke kanan dan ikuti jalan tersebut, situs ini berada tepat dipinggir jalan.

Darah pegunungan Prambanan memang menyipan banyak sekali peninggalan benda cagar budaya.
Desa Sambirejo memiliki dataran yang tak rata sebab desa tersebut berada di perbukitan Prambanan.
Akses menuju kesitus ini tidak terlalu sulit, walau bila siang tiba desa ini suasananya sepi. salah satu situs yang tersisa di dusun Sumberwatu, ialah 2 buah lingga yang berada di pinggir jalan.

Lingga pertama berukuran tinggi dan agak ramping. dan sudah terdata oleh pihak BP3 ditandai dengan nomer inventarisnya.

Lingga yang kedua yang kondisinya tak jauh berbeda, menurut warga sekitar lingga - lingga lainnya berada di Pura Dharma Shanti yang berada tidak jauh dari situs ini.
Kemunkinan dahulu lingga-lingga ini masih 1 kompleks, namun tinggal 2 lingga ini yang tak di kumpulkan di altar pura.

Administrative localization:

Sumberwatu, Sambirejo, Prambanan, Sleman, DIY.

Geographical localization:

07° 46' 06.1" S
110° 29' 47.5" E
Precision: 9m
Alt.: 200m

Surroundings:

In lower middle land, on a hill in the northern part of Gunung Kidul, between the Ratu Boko plateau and Mount Pegat. It overlooks the Prambanan plain and offers a magnificent view of Mount Merapi, but also candi Loro Jonggrang, Sewu, Sojiwan and Plaosan. A few dozens meters below Arca Ganeça.

Religion: Buddhist (?).
Main features: Unknown.
State of preservation: Scattered stones.

Description:

In the middle of a field, behind the houses, one can see a heap of candi stones. Among those are fragments of mouldings (some with a tore) and a few pieces of stūpa-like elements (probably parts of yasti) of different dimensions. Candi stones have been used in the construction of at least two houses and a stable of the dusun. A 1,70m long lintel is still lying nearby.
Identification of the site is difficult. It might have been either a compound made of several stūpa and/or a temple. The fact that a lintel is visible in the direct neighbourhood, that stūpa-like elements are numerous and not of the various dimensions could confirm the temple hypothesis.
However, it is also possible that all the stones do not belong to the same structure.
Shaiva remains have also been found in the area (several lingga and two Ganeśa statues) (Laporan Inventarisasi Wukirharjo, Sumberharjo dan Sambirejo).

Sculptures:
Apart from the above-mentioned Hindu sculptures, several other statues were discovered on the territory of dusun Sumberwatu, although not directly near the architectural remains. Three unfinished sculptures of seated men, measuring between 1,70m for the smallest to 2m for the tallest (B743a, b, c) were found (Laporan inventarisasi Wukirharjo, Sumberharjo dan Sambirejo).169
Miscellaneous archaeological finds:
A peripih was discovered in the village. It is a cubic stone (36.5cm x 35.5cm) with a triangle-shape hole in its middle. Around the triangle are carved four attributes (clockwise): a gada (at the triangle top), an arrow, a spear and a wheel. Between the drawings are four small inscriptions (Laporan identifikasi di Sumberwatu 1985: pl.14).
