The national archaeological relic of An Loi tower mound (Chau Lang commune, Tri Ton district, An Giang province) is a religious and religious architectural work of the post-Oc Eo culture period, dating from the 8th - 9th centuries. on a large scale and still quite intact. The relic contributes to revealing many scientific data about the origin, content, and nature of Oc Eo ancient culture. Oc Eo culture is one of three ancient cultures in Vietnam, including: Dong Son, Sa Huynh and Oc Eo. According to experts, the relics, ruins and values ​​of Oc Eo culture belong to the ancient Funan Kingdom. Typically, there is the architectural relic of An Loi tower mound (the relic is located on a high mound foundation, so people here often call it "tower mound"). In 1999, the An Loi tower mound relic was discovered by the Provincial Museum during a survey in the mountains in Tri Ton district. In 2002, the Provincial Museum coordinated with the Center for Archaeological Research under the Institute of Social Sciences of the Southern Region to re-survey the archaeological site of An Loi tower mound. The An Loi tower mound archaeological site has a rectangular shape and an area of ​​over 300 square meters. The top of the mound is flat, 2.5m high above the surrounding surface. The surface of the mound reveals many bricks, many brick seams running in a straight line in an east-west direction along with a few stone blocks and architectural stone slabs lying exposed in the middle of the mound or next to tree stumps. There is a circular "stone table" placed on top of whole and broken bricks in the middle of the mound. The slopes of the mound on the south and north sides are brick walls that are still vertical. On the east and west sides, due to being dug up to get bricks, bricks and jagged rocks were left on the slopes of the mound... That is a sign that this architecture was built with mixed bricks and stones in the traditional style of ancient Oc Eo - Phu Nam culture residents. The results show that, despite being excavated, the architectural foundation is still quite intact with the height of the tower walls ranging from 1.5 - 2.5m. Excavation results show that the An Loi tower mound relic has a rectangular architectural plan built of quite large bricks and stones, angled many times with a length of 19.2m in the east-west direction, a width of 11.6m in the east-west direction. north-south, 2.5m high from the base of the false column edge or 3.6m from the base of the last brick foundation - close to the foundation stone layer up to the top. The architectural layout consists of 2 parts: The lobby in the east is connected to the up and down steps, and the back lobby is in the west. Inside the architecture of the back hall, there is a square well-shaped worship pit, the sides are 1.2m wide in the east-west direction and 1.1m in the north-south direction. The hole was dug quite deep, containing many raw bricks, rocks and gray sand. In addition, in the pit, a large ceramic jar was discovered broken into many pieces. The jar had a not high mouth, a wide bulging body, a flat bottom, and a very shiny dark brown enamel layer on the outside. The relics collected are mainly stone objects of various types, such as: Stone Linga fragments, Somasutra sacred water troughs, stone tables; Stone slabs of many shapes, such as: Semi-circular stones, fan-shaped stones, rectangular stones and a few pieces of ancient pottery and vase spouts in insignificant quantities. Through research, the An Loi tower mound belongs to the heavy architectural type built of mixed brick and stone of the post-Oc Eo period. The discovery of many Linga and Somasutra suggests that the An Loi tower mound architecture is a temple belonging to the Siva belief where blessing rituals of ancient communities in the post-Oc Eo period were performed.
