Kamnap Temple

Remnants of a Stele Shelter with inscription registered under K 701. The inscription notes the regulations for the Vishnuite Acrama that was located here. The site underwent excavations in 2016 and 2017 by the Yaçodharâçrama Research Programme which revealed linear base structures of the related buildings.

Today, to the casual wanderer, all that is seen at the site is a large upstanding laterite plinth and the odd laterite block but excavations revealed an entrance to the site on the dike of the east baray, 25m long hall, large platform area that may have supported posts and a tile roof, along with several other base structures covering a broad area from reports.

North of here is a contemporary pagoda, Wat Komnap built atop the dike of the  East Baray.
