Prasat Beng Mealea Spean Khang Lech (ប្រាសាទបេងមាលាស្ពានខាងលិច - Pronounced: Pra-saht Beung Ma'lier S'pien Karng Lech)
The west entrance causeway or 'bridge' that leads into Prasat Beng Mealea.
The ancient causeway appears to be constructed out of sandstone, and there looks to be some traces of a naga balustrade still in situ.
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 Lech.
