Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Non Khan Mak (โนนขันหมาก - Pronounced: Nawn Kan Mak)

The location of this small collection of Angkorian artefacts is marked by a solitary, tall tree and a pair of basic, wooden spirit houses. The site appears to be pinned on Google Maps as Wat Pa Non Khan Mak although as far as we can see there are no religious structures at the site apart from the shrines.

The collection consists of three pedestals; one a standard linga pedestal with soma sutra, another a triple yoni linga pedestal and the third is unclear from photographs. Several unidentifiable sandstone blocks complete the collection. Curiously each of the yonis features four, cross-shaped narrow grooves. These were clearly not part of the original design and their purpose is a mystery to us.
