There are three partly gilded shrines, the tallest about 3 metres, with a Buddha seated inside. Each of the shrines have a different design.
There are also a few 'podiums'/pedestals for holding the food offerings from the locals.
These are about half a kilometre from the intersection of Route 2089, and Route 2224.
As I had cycled past quite a few times while volunteering (for 3 weeks) north of here, I had noted the various food offerings, but hadn't seen anyone at the site.
