The method used in this study is a qualitative method, with observation techniques and interviews with several informants such as residents or traditional leaders, especially with the Daulay surname.

This tomb is about 7 mtr long and around the tomb there is the tomb of his wife Namora Pandapotan, whose tomb is 5 m, located in Binabo Julu village, Samarimba, Kec. Barumun, Padang Lawas Regency.
