Lbeuk Svay Temple

Remains of two unusually large brick temples, in terms of width anyway as they have mostly fallen with only the very lower portion of the temple remaining standing. They both appear to open to the east although no remains of a sandstone doorframe are seen. Fronting the site is a small collapsed shelter under which is the remains of a decorated door column and pedestal. Nearby is what appears to be a decayed crown piece that would have sat atop one of the temples.

Remains of a laterite enclosure wall can be seen on the eastern site entrance, surrounded by a large moat (dry), plus a large basin 200 m to the east.
