Prasat Bak Roung (ប្រាសាទបាក់រោង - Pronounced: Pra-saht Bakh Rouhng)
The site of a small brick temple that still stands with a lintel and carved octagonal colonettes formally in situ as late as the 1990s and early 2000's. The current whereabouts of the lintel and colonettes are currently unknown. The temple dates to the 10th century in the Pre Rup or possibly Koh Ker art style and has a sandstone pedestal in situ.
The temple site is surrounded by a moat with an east entrance causeway, however this is not evident on the satellite imagery as the area is heavily forested. Located to the northeast are traces of a rectangular 200m x 100m man-made reservoir Baray Prasat Bak Roung orientated 75 degrees.
A relatively intact standing male divinity was also discovered in situ, which is now on display at the Angkor National Museum.
