Along the road from Phnom Penh to Siam Reap we saw in front of homes these structures of different heights and widths that looked like haystacks with a stick poking out of the top. What are they and what purpose do they have?

there are 2 types: the ones that are built up around poles are hay, food for cattle. the ones that are just piled up are whats left over after a rice harvest and they are spread out daily to dry and piled up a covered at night or when it rains [to keep them dry] then they are use to burn in cooking fires. i just love riding through tinny villages w/ golden hay stacks in the early morning sun. it's like traveling through medieval times....hope you took pictures

Just guessing here, but maybe they were haystacks.

Camouflage for machine gun nests.
Just kidding, those were the bad old days.
Now, they are fodder for livestock.
