Srah Chhouk (ស្រះឈូក - Pronounced: S'rah Choohk) according to satellite imagery, there is a 220m x 110m rectangular man-made reservoir. Usually where there is a rectangular man-made reservoir, there is an associated temple or ancient village. The reservoir sits just 250m northeast of a modern temple called Wat Srah Chhouk, which may contain something of interest, or there may be a former temple mound 100m or 200m to the west, where the villagers houses are.
If it is determined that there is an ancient temple site nearby to this reservoir, we will create a new temple site listing and remove this reservoir listing and include it with the temple.
If you happen to be in the area and visit this site, we would love to find out more about the site such as the name of the site, the size and condition of the site, what is still in situ and a few photos of the site.
We highly recommend that you consult a local guide or villager to escort you to the site, as there is a possibility of mines or UXO's when visiting remote and secluded sites. If you do decide to venture out on your own, please follow the beaten path and becareful!
Beyond Angkor does not guarantee that you will find any remains at this site. The site has been listed based a probability of a site existing at this particular location. We are not equip with 1.5 million dollar LIDAR equipment like the professional archaeologists, to scan the landscape for ancient formations, instead we have simply used the naked eye on satellite imagery to determine these 'probable' historic sites. We are pleased to say that a large number of sites we seeked remotely from the comforts of our own home, have been confirmed to be in fact 'tuols'. As sites are confirmed by explorers and reported, we have then appropriately relisted the sites with the local name and details of what have been found in situ. These sites can be found in the category No CISARK.
Beyond Angkor and the team at Beyond Angkor are not liable for any damages or injuries sustained when seeking out any historical sites listed, especially of these unknown sites. Please ensure you have the relevant travel insurance for your journey and let someone know where you are headed each day.
