Located on the northwest side of the Koh Ker group of temples, Prasat Dang Tong, or Don Ton North (in some records, Prasat Reamker), is the remains of a brick temple, that according to an onsite report, was an elongated building with a corbelled roof possibly built prior to Jayavarman IV’s relocation of the capital from Angkor to Koh Ker. The site miraculously retains its lintel in a good state of preservation along with decorated door columns and an ornate pedestal that rewards the visitor to this slightly out-of-the-way site.
Henri Parmentier’s description from L’Art khmèr classique , monuments du quadrant Nord-Est, 1939
Prasat Don Ton North 281.10 (M. H. 690).
The building is 800 m. from the N.-W. angle of the Rahál, in the extension of its W. side; this brick prásat oriented E. 15° N. has retained only part of its lower body. The building no longer has an O face and has lost the center of its S face; he has, luckily, dreamed the greater part of its N face and it appears bare and without a false door. The building is clearly rectangular in the E.-W direction. conventional.
The interior has an ogee cornice. Above the entrance bay is a relieving arch, the corbels of which are, in both directions, by foundations of a brick. Door E. has a beautiful molded frame assembled with a miter, octagonal columns with 5 elements and a lintel of a common type III but with a beautiful look. A lion remains in front of the steps.
