Site Size & Condition: Medium Prasat Prasat Kuk Ampil Thvear (ប្រាសាទគុកអំពិលទ្វារ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Kouk Um-peul Thvear)

Reveals one remaining, intact, brick shrine out of three original towers, partially enclosed within a contemporary Buddhist temple which in turn is surrounded by a laterite enclosure. The door frame from an eastern gopura can be seen along with evidence of a 2nd enclosure wall. Numerous laterite blocks are scattered around the site along with several sandstone fragments.
