Located atop a small mountain Prasat Phnom Punnareay features two small and very decayed brick temples. Oddly, they open to the south with remains of sandstone doorframes and false doors around the other sides. They don’t feature any decorative carvings although the brickwork is elaborate, emphasizing the eaves, base, and false doors.
On the north side of the site there is a small shelter containing remnants including a collection of round door column fragments and just to confuse things, a fragment of an octagonal decorated door column. There is also a sandstone pedestal.
On the south side of the temples, there is a lot of brick rubble collected and sandstone remnants along with a broken lintel.
As you’d expect there are some wonderful views from up top.
