Site of an ancient necropolis. There is a small museum here although unfortunately the key is not held locally. The discoveries made here were quite fascinating, illuminating an ancient culture that pre-dates even the oldest of the ancient temples. I’ll point to the informative research papers below and also the excellent museum in Banteay Meanchey which houses a collection of remnants and information on this and related sites.
