Prasat Chhouk (ប្រាសាទឈូក - Pronounced: Pra-saht Ch'oohk)
The site of what would of most likely been a relatively sizeable site, as all that remains is a large mound of fallen sandstone blocks surrounded by a moat with an east entrance causeway. Just 100m north of the site is a large 380m x 190m man-made reservoir Baray Prasat Khnar Bos Chemkiri.
A small shrine houses an intact sandstone yoni, and a sandstone lingam pedestal.
The sizeable site may have been built in the same century as Koh Ker, considering the size of the mound and the size of the sandstone blocks that lay strewn all over the mound and that fact that it is only 26km east of the ancient city of Lingapura (Preah Vihear).
