Located in Preah Vihear province, about 15km west of Preah Khan of Kampong Svay, Prasat Supheap Cheung, is recorded as a “Firehouse” or Dharmasala, which were features added to the ancient Royal Road network around the 12-13th century. This particular one is along the ancient route that joined Beng Mealea to Preah Khan of Kampong Svay (PKKS). It is only partially standing in places around what would have been the main body of the shrine. Historical notes kept by the EFEO indicate the site was visited in the 1930s noting it was collapsed at that time.
