Its the Pura Dalem of Padang Tegal, so it is the Temple of the Dead in English (it's the cemetery for the Padang Tegal Desa (village). Technically the monkey forest is in Padang Tegal Desa not Ubud village.
No, haven't had a Claytons guide there, knew what you meant so showing my age, but had one at a temple in India once, he wouldn't take no for answer and followed us around telling us everything about what we were looking at (it was so annoying as we wanted to take in the peace of the place), we ignored him and then he demanded payment at the end and threatened our lives, we put some money in the offering box instead and stormed off.
