A large mound of multi-levels, surrounded by a moat, featuring the remnants of a 7th Century temple.
Phnom Roung Temple (ប្រាសាទភ្នំរុង), or Phnom Rung, is located just north of the West Baray. It is a small site with only remnants remaining of what would have been a single tower. It is pre-Angkorian and was constructed in the Chenla era, 7th century.
Regardless of what little remains, it is interesting for its rather large mound, compared to the temple itself, and that it appears to have been a stepped mound with three levels.
Remains include a large stone pedestal topped with a yoni. There is also a stone-carved lintel sitting near the pedestal and other stone remnants about the site.
