Shelters from where a 7th-century inscription was recorded and registered under K. 116. The stele/plinths have since been moved to a museum (I believe). K. 116 was recorded by Georges Coedes in IC II, p. 134
ČRÛOY AMPİL STELE (K. 116 Corpus, LXII)
The sandstone stele fragment (o, 35 x 0, 43 x c, 15) discovered in 1902 on the Phnom Sampar Kalei, about 4 kilom. from the right bank of the Mekong in the province of Stun Trèn, was first deposited at Vát Čruoy Ampil where the monks buried him at the foot of the altar. The stamping, taken by the care of Adh. LECLERE in 1904, allowed L. FINOT to recognize an incomplete replica of the rock inscription of Thma Krê. In 1914, the stele, now known as Črûoy Ampil, entered the Khmer Museum of Phnom Péñ: it is currently in the Albert Sarraut Museum (D 21).
The inscription comprises three Sanskrit lines, in beautiful script from the beginning of the seventh century, corresponding to the first three pāda of the Citra-sena inscriptions at Thma Krê and Th’am Pet T’ong. Although the thing is infinitely probable, it is impossible, in good method, to affirm that the fourth pāda was, him also, identical to that of these two inscriptions, and that it was about the erection of a linga.
