On February 3, a working group from Buon Don Commune joined national park rangers to inspect the site, located atop a remote hill deep within the forest. The carvings include spirals, undulating lines, leaf-like forms and water-wave motifs - all deeply incised into the stone. Officials on site agreed the patterns bore clear signs of human intervention, rather than being the result of natural erosion or weathering. Pham Trung Kien, head of the Yok Don ranger station, first encountered the site during a patrol in February 2022. Pham Tuan Linh, director of Yok Don National Park, confirmed the park is taking immediate measures to protect the area while awaiting further investigation by relevant cultural and archaeological authorities.
