Located in Leang Dei Commune of Angkor Thum district the site features scant remnants of an ancient temple. At one end, an excavated area can be seen with a scattering of bricks, then a linear line of laterite covered in shrub runs eastward for around 30 m seeming to end at a partially cleared area with an arrangement of sandstone pieces.
The site is well overgrown and at the time of visiting surrounded by water (late 2021). Cisark notes there being pedestals although they were not seen and perhaps hiding in the mass of scrub.
Could the site be a late-era vihara, or maybe even an ashrama, or the scant remains of a brick temple with a laterite base/terrace?
There is another site of the same name in the nearby area here.
