Site Size & Condition: Carvings Damrei Krap (ដំរីក្រាប - Pronounced: Dom-rei Krahp)

Is another carved, sandstone boulder site - which is common on Phnom Kulen - located a short walk from Phum Thmei. It is also in the form of an elephant, although considerably smaller than the one found at Srah Damrei, and this time in a kneeling position.

The site may not be worth visiting on its own, but it does lie close to the ruined brick towers of Prasat Balang (Svay Leu).

A precise date is impossible to determine, however a statue of Vishnu is reportedly to have originated from this site, which is in the Phnom Kulen style, and is now housed at the National Museum of Cambodia.
