Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol C1707156 (មិនស្គាល់ - Pronounced: Unknown) it is not known what is in situ.

According to GPS satellites, the temple mound site is surrounded by a moat, and 50m to the northeast is a 200m x 130m man-made reservoir that we have listed as C1707475.

We had visited the site, and was greeted by some very cautious and aggressive villagers. Upon first approach, the villagers were not keen to even talk about any traces of any ancient remains in the vicinity. They were very reluctant to share the name of the reservoir and to confirm whether there is a temple mound west of the reservoir. After a lengthy chat and assurances that we were not from APSARA, they started to open up and share the details (alas, upon the lengthy discussion and chit chat about life, we ended up forgetting to note the names of the sites down), they even went on to talk about life under the Khmer Rouge.

We attempted to go to the mound west of the reservoir, but was greeted with more cautious villagers and decided to give the site a pass until things cooled off with the authorities in Siem Reap.
