Site Size & Condition: Destroyed Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Kok Yeay Mau (គោកយាយម៉ៅ - Pronounced: Kouk Yi'aye Mauh!)

Early reports state that this site is the remains of a brick mound, with traces of sandstone blocks which would of formed the door frame, sandstone octagonal colonettes and fragments of laterite. The site is surrounded by a moat with an east entrance causeway and 100m to the east if a small rectangular man-made reservoir.

Upon a recent visit in 2022, we were unfortunately unable to see anything, as the whole area has now been ploughed and turned into rice paddy fields. There were no clear traces of any moats, causeways. Google satellite imagery in 2021 and early 2022 still showed the clear square moated temple site, though updated imagery at the end of 2022 now shows just a flat rice paddy field. Please see the first image in the gallery below to see the changes over the years to the site.
