It was presumed that Chansen had been a city in the Dvaravati period. In the area of the city, a moat with an earth mound was formed in the shape of a rectangle with curved corners. The surrounding moat was around 20 metre wide. At present, it is seen as a low area holding water, but with some evident traces of the old moat. The city is around 800 metre long and 700 metre wide, covering an area of over 300 rai. Since the interior ground of the moat is higher than the exterior area, the high land is called ‘Khok’ Chansen by villagers. Many ancient objects were excavated in the city. Those made of pottery included votive tablets of the Buddha image, figurines, lamps, etc. Stone artefacts were lotus bases, wheels of law, and polished stone axes. There were also those made of metal including lead or tin earrings, and bronze spear blades. Presently, all the artefacts have been kept in the Chansen Museum at Wat Chansen. The museum is open every day from 9.00 a.m.-4.00 p.m.
