A square sandstone temple with a short hall opening to the east with a “library” in the southeast built from laterite, a laterite wall, and an entrance gopura along with a large basin in the east. The site has a format similar to many of the hospital chapels built under Jayavarman VII yet no “hospital stele” typically seen at other sites has been found. Under what remains of a decorated lintel there is an inscription registered under K. 452 number.
Inscription
K. 452 – in situ on the lintel. The icon of ancient Khmer inscriptions, George Coedes notes
The lintel of the sanctuary forebody is probably an old pillar that has been reused. It bears a Sanskrit inscription whose upper part is missing and whose remaining 12 lines, well preserved, form 6 stanzas (5 çloka and 1 malini). This is the end of a Buddhist inscription of 910 c. (988 A.D.). On this date, a character whose name is not preserved erected an image of Lokeçvara, to which he dedicated a monastery abundantly endowed with goods. This text is a new testimony to the favor enjoyed by Buddhism at the time of Jayavarman V.
IC V, p. 156
The site can be accessed off a dirt road, slightly rough in parts, that leads south off the RN6 before the river.
