There is a sandstone quarry just north of Prasat Beng Mealea that forms part of a river bed. It is quite fascinating to see where the temple originated and the clear lines of where large blocks of sandstone would have been chiselled. It’s also a nice spot to relax, as many do.
This creek continues north all the way to the newly restored Makara aqueduct, and to the south, feeds into the moat of Beng Mealea and in turn supplies the grand baray on the east side of the temple.
