Prasat Kok Ballangk (ប្រាសាទគោកបល្ល័ង្គ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Kohk Bal'lungk)

The remains of a small ruin within a moated enclosure. The site has a fragment of a carved sandstone lion still in situ, along with evidence of a brick remains and a variety of scattered sandstone and laterite blocks. To the east of the moated site lays a man-made reservoir named Boeng Chea Meak. Older residents recall that in their early years or have heard stories from their parents that before there were more traces of the temple present, however over the years the site had become overgrown, and ancient stones taken and repurposed by local villagers.

As of early January 2024, the APSARA authorities have begun clearing the shrubbery within the moated enclosure to reveal the foundations of the former temple site. A number of large sandstone lingam pedestals and fragments of carved colonettes were unearthed.
