Located at the corner of the ancient basin and road leading up to Neak Buos Temple, Prasat Kuk (south) is the remains of a laterite temple, with “library” building enclosed by a laterite wall with an entrance pavilion on the eastern side.
The central temple has mostly collapsed but originally opened to the east with false doors on its other sides that are formed by sandstone door frames closed off by laterite blocks. It appears to have had a hall leading east. It is noted as being as a “Hospital Chapel“, an addition to the area likely under the reign of King Jayavarman VII.
