Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Phu Malong (ພູມະໂລງ - Pronounced: Poo Ma-long)

Curiously Phu Malong was not included in the EFEO's 2014 survey of Attapeu sites and while it is listed by CISARK as site 1235, the description "approximately 30kms southeast of Attapeu" makes even an approximate location suggestion impossible. The site is described as linga and pedestal plus sandstone blocks so would appear to indicate a shrine site while Phu means mountain in Lao. Our wild guess then is some hill or outcrop possibly overlooking the upper Su (or Xou) valley but we have zero evidence for this.

CISARK's entry contains no additional details or photographs and we haven't found any additional sources for the site so we're rather skeptical about this entry.
