Prasat Sam Yot (ប្រាសាទសំយោត - Pronounced: Pra-saht Sohm Yoht)

A sandstone temple site that has three sandstone towers aligned on the east to west axis, that can be accessed via small laterite steps. The three temples lay in ruins and is open to the east.

There are still some intricately carved sections of the walls present along with lintels and other carved blocks scattered in the vicinity and the temple site is surrounded by a moat with an east entrance causeway.

About 400m to the east is a large 750m x 400m dried up rectangular man-made reservoir, that has a modern road cutting straight through it.
