The site includes a cave at the foot of the mountain, as well a number of small mountain wells that local people of Cambodian, Chinese and Vietnamese descent use for worship.

Several smaller wells have artistic stones that look like animals and other objects. Only one of the mountain is different, because the mountain soil have seven different colors and its wells is 30 meters in diameter. From this large well, there is a cave way to Viel Sre Muoy Roy and Thma Dos wells, which were used by filmmakers in the 1970s.
