O Chheu Teal E Tbong Temple

Also recorded as South Chheuteal Temple, it is located on the western side of Preah Khan of Kampong Svay. It is a tall square laterite temple opening to the east with a short forebody. It’s built atop a raised square laterite platform. It’s well preserved although it appears to have never been completed with carving only partially beginning on one lintel. Around 50m to the northeast is small basin with a few sandstone fragments.

Note: as of 12/22, from the trail that leads west from PKKS west gate, there is no clear path to the temple but Google Maps does have its location marked correctly, the tree in the last shot is also a helpful visual marker of the temple location.
