Site Size & Condition: Wat Wat Nong I Lo (วัดหนองอีหล่อ - Pronounced:Wot Nawng Ee Lo)

Active Buddhist monastery housing a small collection of sandstone artefacts including Dvaravati-style sema stones as well as at least three Khmer-style boundary markers. Additional sandstone fragments - some carved - are discernable in photos of the wat although an on-the-ground survey of the grounds is required to confirm precisely what is present, as well as the provenance of said artefacts.

For now, the site is listed as wat/depository although the possible antiquity of a reservoir immediately north of the monastery requires verification and may serve to elevate the site to tuol status. The irregular-shaped reservoir shows two right-angled corners at its eastern end and shares a 70-degree orientation with the wat which is located on its southern embankment.
