Prasat Preah Khan Kampong Svay Spean Khang Lech (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័នកំពង់ស្វាយស្ពានខាងលិច - Pronounced: Pra-sart P'rah Kanh Kuhm-pohng S'vay S'pien Karhng Lech)
The west entrance causeway or 'bridge' to a large enclosed sandstone city Prasat Preah Khan (Kampong Svay).
There is likely a sandstone causeway that crosses over the encircling moat like that of Prasat Preah Khan Kampong Svay Khloung Thvear Khang Kaeut. Though it doesn't appear to show any evidence of any traces of any naga balustrade lining either side of the causeway, though it is quite overgrown.
After crossing the moat, one enters the enclosed city through the three tower entrance gopura of Prasat Preah Khan Kampong Svay Khloung Thvear Khang Lech.
Oddly enough King Jayavarman VII didn't adopt the Gods and Demons pulling a naga scene like that of Prasat Banteay Chhmar, Prasat Preah Khan (Siem Reap) or Angkor Thom.
