Prasat Samnang Ta Sok (ប្រាសាទសំណាងតាសុខ - Pronounced: Pra-saht Sam-nang Ta Sock) lies to the west of the main temple complex, some 800 metres past Prasat Ta Naem. The site is very similar in size, layout and state of preservation to Prasat Ta Prohm (Banteay Chhmar), although orientation corresponds to Banteay Chhmar itself rather than the aforementioned site.
The cruciform central tower with carved faces is intact while the surrounding structures of double enclosure, 2 sets of east and west entrance gopuras and laterite 'library' are in poor condition. A moat, between the 2 laterite enclosure walls, still contains water at certain times of the year.
As with similar satellite temples, many scholars propose a slightly later date than the central complex.
