CISARK GPS coordinates indicate an earthen mound with brick fragments situated just north of Route 154 on a bend in the Sangkar River a short distance south of Battambang city. Satellite images show a tree-covered area amid residential buildings with no obvious traces of an ancient temple site discernable.

The description also mentions 'lotus' which we assume refers to the lotus bud, sandstone tower cap although what, if any, vestiges remain in situ today requires confirmation.

The Battambang Provincial Museum houses a Khleang style lintel in excellent condition which lists Tuol Prasat Kampong Sema as its provenance.
