Letha Taung, also known as the Singu Plateau, [2] is a small volcanic plateau in central Burma (Myanmar).
Letha Taung is located near Nweyon, Singu Township, Pyinoolwin District, Mandalay Division, about 3 km west of National Highway 31. [3] The lavas that form the plateau originally came from fissure vents during the Holocene, although the date of the last eruption is unknown. [4] The active Sagaing Fault, a transform boundary runs under this structure. [5]
