Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Tuol Kantaok (ទួលកន្ទោក - Pronounced: Toohl Kon-toahk)

Reported former location of a substantial-sized earth mound surrounded by traces of a moat. Bricks, laterite blocks and sandstone fragments were found on-site as well as an inscribed stele. The GPS coordinates are approximate and correspond to a modern factory site. Vacant plots can be seen north, northeast and northwest of the location although it is impossible to see from satellite images which, if any, correspond to the original reported site.

The inscription date is said to be 934 - correspondingly rather improbably to the Jayavarman IV period. We'd suggest the temple and inscription were the work of a local ruler, rather than a commission from Koh Ker.
