Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Prasat Kok Ta Lek (ប្រាសាទគោកតាឡេក - Pronounced: Pra-saht Kohk Ta Lek)

Regrettably, while earlier French archaeologists recorded the ruins of three brick towers with in situ lintels at this site, today nothing remains except for a small section of moat and the site has been levelled for agricultural use. (We have no information on the lintels.) Rather curiously the old report described two brick towers aligned north-south with a third, southernmost, ruin slightly offset to the east which does correspond exactly to the disposition of the three towers at the adjacent site Prasat Trapeang Boeng. While the respective names of the two neighbouring sites were confirmed to us by local farmers it's tempting to suggest some possible confusion in this case although, early EFEO reports do also describe ruined towers at Trapeang Boeng.
