Site Size & Condition: Unconfirmed Site Size & Condition: Reservoir Nong Si Liam (น้องสี่เหลี่ยม - Pronounced: Nawng See Liam)

Although today three sides of this reservoir form an irregular-shaped body of water, a straight northern embankment - aligned to some 85 degrees - hints that it may have begun life as an Angkor-period baray or reservoir. Which we estimate to have measured about 170m x 80m.

Also, rather tantalisingly, satellite photos show a feature some 60m west of the reservoir's most westward point consisting of square field boundaries measuring 140m with a rectangular, tree-covered plot at its centre. (The alignment of these adjacent features appears to be some 88 degrees or just short of an east-west alignment.)

Requires on-the-ground verification.
