In such a situation, Imamzadeh Aghil monument can provide a valuable insight into the architectural patterns of the perion in the area. This monument is located in the middle of a major archaeological site and its architectural style and archaeological evidence wittneses that it may be built in the Seljuk period and is Comparable with Gonbad Alavian in Hamadan, Red Gonbad in Maragheh and the tomb of Pierre in Takestan. Despite of the destructions happened, this monument especially in terms of the construction and decoration still remains an important one although the information on grave owner is not revealed but according to the comparable monuments of this period it is possible to assign it to have been for a local rulers.
