Prasat Kol, located north of National Road 6 in Srayang Commune features a single laterite temple with the remains of a “library” building which are surrounded by an outer laterite wall with an entrance gopura on the east.
The central shrine is still partly standing, tall square laterite construction that opens to the east with sandstone doorframes with an undecorated sandstone pedestal seen still in situ. Small remnants of decorated lintel are also seen. It also featured a long hall, or mandapa, and some unusually long sandstone plinths are seen towards the front of those remains.
On the northeastern side of the central shrine there are the partially standing remains of a “library” that, as they do, opens to the west. Remains of sandstone door frames and decorated columns are seen in situ. It’s recorded that there was also a library on the other side but it is no longer standing.
