Located along the same trail that leads to Phnom Bayang Temple are the remains of Prasat Preah Ko. It’s a small square brick temple that had a laterite forebody extending its eastern entrance. The square temple features strongly emphasized pilasters and pediments and while opening to the east, its doorframe is no longer seen. Around the other sides, the theme of bold pilasters continues this time flanking the false doors also set into the brickwork.
On the north wall, you can see remnants of a water spout which appears to be inscribed with a pattern/text along its side.
