Located 3km to the southeast of Purrieng village, and just north of the ancient road that led from Beng Mealea to Wat Phu, Prasat Mak Ma is reminiscent of Temple d’Etapes that are seen along the same ancient road from Angkor to Preah Khan of Kampong Svay. In this case, the single shrine is built of brick with sandstone doorframes and lintels, flanked by two libraries, and a laterite outer enclosure that opens to the east with a sandstone gopura.
The site never received its final decoration with only a sketched outline of the lintels artwork seen above the eastern door.
