Site Size & Condition: Destroyed Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Kok Kroes (គោកគ្រឹះ - Pronounced: Kouk Kruhs!)

The remains of a former brick temple site, where early reports showed the brick foundation still present. However unfortunately today there is nothing remaining as the area has been marked for re-development, as evident by the new road that loops around it. The centre of the mound can be seen to be no longer as raised, with numerous areas that look like mini ponds now, that would indicate two likely things, 1. tomb raiders searching for lost treasures or 2. the soil from the mound is being used to re-purpose the development area.

Looking back at historic satellite imagery, one can easily pin point the bushy raised mound surrounded by a seasonally filled moat with an east entrance causeway that leads onto a small rectangular 70m x 35m man-made reservoir 50m away.
