- | Type: Ancient Remains & Temples
Located on the west side of Preah Khan, inside the outer enclosure and north of the causeway, are the remnants of a Buddhist Terrace likely constructed in the late/post-Angkor era, long after the temple’s 12th-13th century heyday.
The rectangular area formed by laterite, most likely sourced from the temple proper, is demarcated by sandstone leaf-shaped sima (boundary stones) that feature ornate decoration on each side at the point of the crown, seemingly outdoing the terrace construction. On the elongated terrace, there is a raised section at the western end to form that balan, or pedestal, which may have once supported a Buddha image.
