Site Size & Condition: Unconfirmed Site Size & Condition: Reservoir T31062 (ม่ทราบชื่อ - Pronounced: Unknown)

Largely intact, rectangular reservoir measuring some 70m x 140m and showing an alignment of 85 degrees. (The southern embankment has suffered some damage.) The specifications correspond to a typical, Angkor-period baray which would have been associated with a small sanctuary. Indeed traces of a possible ancient causeway still lead west from the reservoir and even feature a small rectangular pond on its southern side. (A pair of such symmetrical ponds was a commonly seen feature of temple entranceways.)

This would place a hypothetical sanctuary site at around 14.54331, 102.98580, which does show a small clump of trees but no obvious tuol site or reported vestiges. Prasat Ban Bu lies approximately 1600m to the southeast.
