Prasat Leak Neang is a small temple located opposite Pre Rup inside Angkor Archaeological Park. According to an inscription, the building dates from 960 and was built in the era of king Rajendravarman II (reign 944 to 968 AD). The single brick temple has a square base, 4.5 m a side and rises up with three false levels decorated with false doors. The temple opens to the east with inscriptions on the door frames that are registered under K.265, while false doors are set in the brickwork on its other sides.
The only remaining decoration is on the lintel above the eastern entrance featuring Indra on Airavata, although, on the northern side, above the false door, the beginning of a decorated arch and pediment feature can be seen.
Inscriptions
- K. 265 – doorjambs, both sides – 25 + 13 lines of Khmer- According to notes by George Coedes, the south doorframe provides the date, 960 AD, and notes an ordinance by the king, including land donations made to five temples and communities, namely Indresvara (Bakong), Vnam Kantal ( Bakheng), Paramesvara (Preah Ko), the corporation of the khmap “cutters” and that of the añcen, among whom the property was to be distributed. On the north side, another ordinance was without a readable date but attributed to the same era and Coedes noted as indicating the site had something in common with “Vrah Thkval”. Please see Inscriptions du Cambodge IV, p. 102 for more detail.
