Prasat Koh Ho (ប្រាសាទកោះហូរ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Koh! hore)
At first glance, this wide but low mound - some 300m south of the baray embankment and east of the principal spillway - doesn't look promising but poke around the bushes a bit and there's actually quite a lot of elements on display. Amid the trees on the top of the tuol are the laterite foundations and lower brick courses of a shrine featuring an intact, sandstone east doorway. (The doorjamb even features an inscription, numbered K. 750.) Traces of a brick enclosure wall can be seen while satellite photos also seem to indicate the presence of an ancient moat.
A spectacular lintel, colonnettes, linga pedestal and seated Vishnu sculpture were unearthed here with the former displaying a typical Prei Rup-style style.
