Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Prasat Beng Mealea Spean Khang Cheung (ប្រាសាទបេងមាលាស្ពានខាងជើង - Pronounced: Pra-saht Beung Ma'lier S'pien Karng Jerhng)

The north entrance causeway or 'bridge' that leads into Prasat Beng Mealea.

According to satellite imagery if appears this entrance leads onto a rocky sandstone area, with no clear traces of a 'causeway' or 'bridge'.

Upon crossing the moat heading into the main temple enclosure, there appears to be a possible sandstone foundations of a gopura entrance, that we have listed as Prasat Beng Mealea Khloung Thvear Khang Cheung.
