Also known as Beng Thom, an East-West oriented basin measuring 350 x 180 m. Linked to Rong Ta Dev, a hole for runoff flows in the outer wall of Angkor Thom.
The basin also features a series of smaller basins to its east where there are also remains of an ancient site known as Terrace L. On its northern side, it features a large embankment made from the soil dragged out to create the basin itself. The embankment is being researched as it holds remains of another ancient site. Both sites are not currently cleared for the public.
