An ancient moated city, now the capital of Phnom Srok district. The outer moat surrounding the city is a little more than 1 km wide and just under 1km tall now enclosing contemporary Khmer life inc. residences, businesses, and schools etc.. There are few ancient remains to be seen bar the Preah Srok site, the Yeay Chhab site, and remnants that are believed to be held within the monasteries. Regardless, Wat Sovanakar is quite pretty, as is Wat Chey Udom, and the moat on the southern and northern side is well kept with nice bridges with classical Khmer naga balustrades.
