A large sandstone temple some 40 kilometres east of the main Angkor group whose written history is lost; it is placed in the reign of Suryavarman II purely on the strength of an architectural style identical to Angkor Wat. Three enclosing galleries with cruciform cloisters and seven-headed naga balustrades surround the central sanctuary, and the temple stood at the heart of a town ringed by a moat about 1,025 by 875 metres and 45 metres wide. It remains largely unrestored and heavily overgrown, though its carvings include the Churning of the Ocean of Milk and other Vaishnava scenes alongside some Buddhist motifs.
