Site Size & Condition: Small Prasat Prasat Kong Noy (ប្រាសាទគងណយ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Kohng Noy)


An extensively restored and stucco-covered east-facing brick tower located in the grounds of the large Buddhist monastery Wat Prasat. Renovation has been so extensive it's hard to discern which sections are original but the lower half, including sandstone doorframes, lintels and rounded colonettes would appear to be so while the upper section, stupa-style roof and guardian statue figures are of recent date. The colonettes and well-preserved lintels are in an 8th century, Kampong Preah, style.

A linga plinth and several schist blocks are also located in the monastery compound while traces of a possible ancient moat lie to the north and east.
