- Area: Siem Reap Province > Krong Siem Reab > Sangkat Kouk Chak
- | Type: Ancient Remains & Temples
An unnamed and uncleared site (recorded as Monument 58 in early French records) that is primarily constructed of laterite featuring a large prasat (or chedi) at its western end and then a porch that extends forward maybe 10-15 m. It appears to have featured sandstone dressing on the porch (or terrace), or perhaps it had a sandstone balustrade. Other sandstone pedestals and other pieces seen.
Original photos of excavation works, assumed to have taken place in the 1900s, show stone lions on the terrace but they could not be seen today, perhaps removed or perhaps hidden in the dense overgrowth as is much of the site and surroundings. Several beautiful stone carvings/stele were found at this site and perhaps now reside in either the Phnom Penh Museum or Guimet Museum.
It is a structure that is far from forgotten, currently (2021) it is part of active research into constructions made during the transition to Therevada Buddism post the 13th century.
