Site Size & Condition: Small Ruin Prasat Ban Non Yai (ปราสาทบ้านโนนใหญ่ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Baan Non Yai)

Laterite vestiges emerge from a low, 2m, tree-covered mound situated immediately east of Non Yai Village. Sections of a buried terrace are visible in addition to a considerable number of scattered surface blocks and broken fragments. The only decorative artefact present today is what appears to be a rather eroded, square foundation stone. Another, partially buried sandstone block is visible along with a single ancient brick. The tuol doesn't show evidence of excavation so potentially holds additional vestiges.

Older reports describe an enclosing moat although no obvious traces are dicernable today however tree-lined embankments to the east do indicate a now-dry baray. (Baray Prasat Ban Non Yai) The reservoir is connected to the sanctuary site by another tree-lined embankment, which presumably corresponds to an ancient causeway. The 105 degree orientation of the baray provides a likely alignment for the ancient sanctuary.
