Site Size & Condition: Medium Ruin Prasat Toch (ប្រាសាទតូច - Pronounced: Pra-saht Toch)

A ruined, east-facing, laterite temple surrounded by an enclosure wall featuring an eastern gopura. The wall and entrance pavilion are also in laterite as is a 'library' building in the enclosure's southeastern corner. A small but still intact baray Baray Prasat Toch (Kantuot) lies to the east and measures some 200m x 100m with an identical east-west alignment. The layout corresponds to that of an arogyasala and is therefore presumed to date to the late 12th century, Jayavarman VII period. A few sandstone blocks, including door frames and an incomplete lintel, are still in situ.

The site is located approximately 2.5kms southwest of Prasat Preah Vihear and a mere 200m south of the C1303126 baray site. An additional, small but still intact reservoir lies a kilometre further southeast C1303136 and displays a similar east-west orientation.
