Remnants of a tall earthen wall with a laterite substructure that connects in between Angkor Thom and the East Baray. Running parallel on the northern side is a modern laid dirt trail and a canal that connects into the moat of Angkor Thom. It may have also spawned a bridge at its western end while at the eastern end you can find the contemporary spillway which is a nice picnic spot.
