Description

Khok Chang Din (Earthen Elephant Stable) is an archaeological site surrounded by a rectangular dyke with rounded corners measuring 150 by 220 metres. The height is approximately five metres. It was initially believed to have been a stable for elephants, but after excavation by the Fine Arts Department in 2002 CE, it was found to be a reservoir. The dept of this reservoir was 6 metres below the present ground level. The pool was fed by a waterway connected to a natural stream. Through time, the reservoir was filled up by soil deposition and mistakenly believed to be an ancient stable. The reservoir is dated to the Dvaravati period, circa 7th-9th century CE.
