Site Size & Condition: Medium Ruin Prasat Stea Sbaek (ប្រាសាទស្ទាស្បែក - Pronounced: Pra-saht Steer S'baeyk)

The site of a temple with two central towers one in sandstone and the other in laterite constructed side by side on the north-south axis. The temple towers both open to the east, where the south sandstone tower has false doors on the other sides. The north laterite tower has collapsed and only the base now remains.

The two temples are surrounded by a laterite enclosure with two entrance pavilions. Reports also state that there is another laterite temple ruin just north outside of the perimetre.

Surrounding the enclosure the temple site is also surrounded by a moat with an east entrance causeway that leads onto a small reservoir to the east and northeast. The larger reservoir in the northeast is known locally as Trapeang Pring Thom, and measures 300m x 150m oriented along the north-south axis.
