A contemporary monastery and pagoda located west of the RN 6 in Baray District, Kampong Thom. The site is interesting for featuring a large collection of sandstone remnants that one assumes are from the pagoda that preceded the one we see today.
Those remnants include some pedestal of Buddha statues, sema, sema pedestals, a fragment of a Buddha on Naga, a votive stupa fragment, and what might be an inscribed base sema. The site was noted as “141” on Henri Parmentier’s map from 1935.
