Located on the contemporary monastery grounds of Wat Preah Neang, are the partially standing remains of a laterite temple that once featured, a “library”, an outer enclosure wall, and a permanent basin.
Of the ancient site, all that remains is a collection of laterite blocks underneath trees beside the modern stupa I’ll get to in a minute. Some of the remains are covered by a small shelter where people like to pray and there is a beautifully carved stele or boundary marker also to be seen and a remnant of a sema stone depicting Neang Konghing (Preah Mae Thorani). Beside the monastery and fronting the modern stupa is the ancient laterite-lined basin that’s still in use.
A large Angkorian era styled stupa has been added beside the ancient site also, recorded as ព្រះមហាមុនីចេតិយ
