Overgrown but partially standing brick temple with basin in the east. It is a small standing brick temple located in the farmlands of Svay Chek Commune. The site has a northern orientation, which is not so common. The temple features few distinguishing features, apart from being made from brick, square without features nor false doors, and possibly may have had a forebody, noting its slightly odd door frame. Undecorated colonnettes are seen along with a pedestal fragment. 800 metres to the east are the scant remnants of another temple, Trapeang Ponlei, with a similar style of brick.
Historical Notes
Prasat Kuk è Thbong (The temple of the south mound). This small monument, located 1,200 meters to the east of the previous one, is so named because it is about 500 meters to the south of the group of houses of the large village of Svay Chek which, in the middle of the surrounding forests, is surrounded by a fairly large clearing of irrigated rice fields.
On the mound, surrounded by a small moat, the square brick sanctuary faces north, that is, towards the village. It is ruined up to half the height of its facades. The frame of its door, in red sandstone, and its decorative pieces were, moreover, left unfinished.
