Three excavations saw archaeologists find statues of animals, ceramics and roof tiles. The finding at Phong Le Village is believed to be the site of a Cham place of worship from the 10th to 11th century.
Cham is an indigenous group of Vietnam and Cambodia, who formed an independent kingdom from the 2nd to 17th centuries AD.
Associated Professor Dang Hong Son, a member of the archaeology team, said the third excavation exposed foundation structures of the main tower (Kalan), a gate tower and long house (mandapan) as well as boundary walls.
Son said the team sketched out a map of at least five Cham towers in the area with boundary walls and a structure of a long house.
