Preah Theat Toch (Phumi Popel)

The partially standing remains of an ancient laterite temple that has had a vihara attached to its eastern entrance or hall.

To the east, there is a large basin, at the time (early 2022) it was mostly dry. Alongside the dirt road leading to the site, there is a canal and you can see an abundance of natural laterite deposit unless it was dumped there to stabilize the canal banks, although, in the field, you can see more there too.
