Site Size & Condition:Medium Tuol Tuol Trapeang Samraong (ទួលត្រពាំងសំរោង - Pronounced:Toohl Tro-pahng Sam-rouhng)

A pair of adjacent raised earth areas approximately 20m apart. Trapeang Samrong features brick fragments and is the source for the important inscription K.1214, while Tuol Lok Yeay features a schist pedestal. The inscription dates to the year 726CE and, we assume, is now housed in the National Museum of Cambodia. A small reservoir lies to the east of the tuols.

The area is now an industrial zone in the suburbs of Phnom Penh and we're skeptical about the condition, and even the continued existence of the site. Requires verification.
