Contemporary pagoda and monastery located in the plains just north of the Tonle Sap featuring remnants of an ancient site. I couldn’t correlate the site to any of the older inventories, but that doesn’t mean it’s unknown, unless, it turns out to be Prasat Phung Phang from Lajonquire’s 1902 inventory. En route to temple sites, we always try to stop by as many pagodas as possible, and we are often surprised as we were here.
On the east side of the pagoda, there’s a collection of remnants, including pedestals and a well-worn grinding pestle.
Most interesting though is the collection in a small shelter on the large vacant mound near the monastery holding what may be a round pestle and another round object that may be a small offering table, I am not sure. I have only seen two others, unlabelled in one of the regional museums. The other larger fragment, I am also not sure although one looks like it may be from the post-Angkor period. In front of the shelter, a well-worn pedestal with a round receptacle.
