The remains of the ancient remains of this temple are a brick construction after collapse into a pile of bricks, about 2 meters high. The top has a large perennial plant. The most obvious architectural feature is the plinth built into the square plan. The width of each side is about 5 meters, so it is assumed that it should be a chedi. Other parts of the temple, especially the east side. likely to be eroded by the Mekong River Because the area on the east side adjacent to the ancient site is a slope that descends to the Mekong River. which was caused by the erosion of this river.
