A cruciform-shaped sandstone temple with a basin in the northeast corner that, according to an inscription at the site, is one of the Hospital Chapels of the Jayavarman VII era. Inscriptions found here were registered under K 155 (the “hospital” stele), K 435 (recorded from a doorframe), and K 482 (on the doorframe in situ). The site also has heritage in the post-Angkor era.
The temple is located on monastery/school grounds and features an array of sandstone blocks arranged around its perimeter including lintels, pedestals, and other remnants. There is a small basin surrounded by laterite blocks near the site and the monastery grounds also features a large Buddha statue of recent times.
Lintels
There are two lintels still in situ on the temple and another six lintels, or pieces of, immediately around the temple. Styles and eras of the lintels differ which is interesting. Some are likely recycled from an earlier 7th-century site. The site is also where a “Nine Deities Panel” was found which now resides in the National Museum apparently.
