Ruinous remains of two odd rectangular sandstone temples. One could it assume it to be from the 11-12th century, and related to Prasat Ta Muen Thom, perhaps as a “palais” as French would record them, more on those here. One might also assume it to be an ashrama of the Suryavarman I era (1006 to 1050 AD).
The site consists of two long halls on a east-west axis, to the north and south of each other, only meters apart. From what is still standing, both seemingly had doorways at either end while the southern hall had windows on its southern side only.
On a second visit to the site in August 2024, I noticed several decorated fragments and, a sema stone from more recent times. The structure has many quirks, one the use of pillars buttressing the inner jambs of the hall divisions, and some blocks in the wall of the southern hall featuring a slotted channel. Remnants from the site are also stored at the nearby Wat Ta Muean.
