According to the village school’s story, the old turtle had lime material, the surface was rough with a width of nearly 1m, a length of more than half a meter, weighing about half a ton and lost his hind legs; and the stele was broken, half of which was left with traces of Vietnamese, An and many ancient scripts that could not be translated.



The elders in this village guessed that this is probably the Tomb of Con Rua, which existed 300 years ago.
