Beung Prasat (บึงปราสาท - Pronounced: Beung Pra-saht)
Partially intact reservoir situated immediately north of Ku Ban Prasat and the ancient settlement site listed as Muang Prasat. The baray is today subdivided into three smaller reservoirs but outer embankments would have enclosed a total area of some 360m x 840m, orientated to 80 degrees. Ku Ban Prasat is aligned with the central point of the southern embankment while a southern prolongation of the eastern embankment would pass very slightly west of the western enclosing wall of the arogyasala site Ku Ban Prasat.
The alignments of both sanctuaries are close, although not identical to, that of the reservoir but the three sites clearly formed part of the same complex even if they were constructed at different periods. The corresponding ancient settlement site of Muang Prasat appears to have been in the area south of the baray.
Note; it appears that the site may correspond to a CISARK listing, 1853, named Nong Non Krat, but the site is undescribed and this is, for now, unconfirmed.
