One of the several brick shrines inside the outer moat and surrounding the enclosure wall and inner moat of Bakong Temple. This one is in great condition, rising up three levels, featuring a sandstone doorframe still in place and opening to the north with sandstone false doors on its other sides. Some remains of decorated sandstone columns can be seen laying to one side along with some other pieces.
Internally it has some unusual niches carved into the walls, can only wonder what may have once occupied those spaces.
