Located just north of Ta Prohm Temple of Tonle Bati, Prasat Yeay Pow as it is also known, is a single sandstone temple on the monastery grounds of Wat Bati.
The square temple opens to the east with a slightly narrower forebody extending its length by half-as-much again and further extended by bold sandstone pilasters topped with a partly completed decorative pediment. The east doorway is flanked by octagonal decorated columns and topped by a lintel depicting three worshipers holding up a seated Boddhisvatta.
Keep going inside there is another lintel but unfinished or strangely decayed relative to other features. Inside the central shrine today is a collection of Buddha statues.
The exterior sides of the temple are plan but on the west side, a false door topped with an impressive lintel and pediment.
Nearby there is a pile of remains and just to the south there is an area that has been demarcated by recycled parts of the temple including what appears to be parts of a naga balustrade. At one end of this area is a shrine.
A stele inscribed with 23 lines of Khmer was found nearby here and registered under K. 39 that is dated to 1574 AD praising a dignitary and his family for their offerings, you can read the full introduction by Savorous Pou here.
