Small Basin | Hello Angkor

Area: Siem Reap Province > Krong Siem Reab > Sangkat Kouk Chak
| Type: Ancient Remains & Temples

A small permanent basin 20 m x 20 m and 1-2 m deep (at a guess) lined with laterite and sandstone capping. Interestingly it is located atop what could be inferred as an island surrounded by canalisation. There are also odd pieces of stone around the southern side and 50 m to the southeast is another unnamed shrine.
