Located on the western side of Preah Ko in the Roluos area, its also recorded as Prasat Kandol Sud (south) and Au Kaek Temple. The site features only remnants of a brick temple including sandstone plinths, brick mounds, and a standing sandstone doorframe. The site occupies an elevated mound that is enclosed by a moat. The traditional eastern entrance of the site has been sadly consumed by private property and access can be found from the southern side.
Inscriptions
- K. 813 – Sanskrit text – IC I, p. 37
The Prasat Kandòl Dom (South), located a short distance south of the previous one and mentioned by Comm’ de LAJONQUIÈRE, also has an unpublished inscription, engraved on the southern jamb of the entrance door to the sanctuary, which was discovered in November 1934 by G. A. TROUVÉ. There remain only short fragments (6) insufficient to allow a coherent decipherment. The writing is identical to that of the previous entry (see here). After praising a king, came that of a scholar (caturvveda……..castrarunava…) we then read the mention of the temple of Indreçvara (Crindreçvaragrna) and that of the foundation of a linga (lingam atisthipat). It is possible that this inscription is also authored by Çivasoma.
