Located on the western side of Beng Mealea’s baray, or Rahal Baray as early French archeologists recorded it, is a very large cruciform sandstone terrace that connects to the eastern entrance of Beng Mealea via a bollarded causeway.
At a guess, it is around 70 m long on its east-west axis and 40m wide in places on its north-south axis of the cruciform. It is over one meter high, and atop the platform has a series of low-height stepped rises to an unknown central feature.
