Description: |
|
Mueang Boran Ban Khu Mueang (Ban Khu Mueang Ancient City) is
located in Ban Khu Mueang, Tambon Huai Chan, within the Khu
Mueang Arboretum, around 23 km from the town of Sing Buri.
Presumably, it was an ancient community in the Dvaravati period.
The city plan is rectangular with curved corners, 650 m wide,
750 m long, and 1 m high from the ground. There is a large mound
and surrounding moat with earth banks. Many pieces of pottery
were excavated here, such as crockery, pot, jar, kettle, etc.
Others also found include coloured beads, earthenware lamps, a
greenish stone wheel of the law, earrings, and silver coins
inscribed with the word Sri Dvaravati Svara Punya. The
discoveries indicate the fact that this community has continued
from the Funan Age to the Rattanakosin Era. At present,
discovered artefacts have been maintained at the In Buri
National Museum. Inside the present area of Mueang Boran Ban Khu
Mueang lies an arboretum which covers an area of around 500 rai
and has a surrounding ancient moat. It is shady and beautiful
with various species of plants. To get there: Take Highway
311 (Sing Buri In Buri, the old route) to Km 17, or drive from
the town of In Buri for around 7 km and turn left to take
Highway 3285 (In Buri Nong Sum). |
