Prasat Chikreng Khang Lech (ប្រាសាទជីក្រែងខាងលិច - Pronounced: Pra-saht Jee-kraeng Karhng Lech)

Square, tree-covered earthen mound featuring brick, laterite and sandstone fragments. Traces of a now dry moat and eastern causeway are discernable with the overall site displaying an approximate 80-degree orientation. A similarly aligned, also now dry, reservoir Baray Prasat Chikreng is clearly visible some 50m north of the former temple site, measuring some 100m x 200m.

An inscribed stele featuring twelve lines of old Khmer script and numbered K.169 was unearthed here along with two lintels. The present whereabouts of the inscription is unknown while the relatively well-preserved lintels - both in a Baphuon style - are now housed in the National Museum of Cambodia.
