After 1997, as the remains of Kibiike disused temple, Sakurai City (in the west of Abe Monju-in Temple) were being excavated, the possibility that this temple was Kudara-daiji Temple became stronger judging from the scale of Buddhist temple and the era of the excavated survivals.
1997年以降、桜井市吉備（安倍文殊院の西方）の吉備池廃寺の発掘が進むにつれ、伽藍の規模、出土遺物の年代等から、この吉備池廃寺こそが百済大寺であった可能性がきわめて高くなっている。
