Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Tuol Preah Theat (ទួលព្រះធាតុ - Pronounced: Toohl P'rah! T'iet) is the site of a former 'standing' brick temple in the early 1900's as evident by the early black and white photographs taken during that time. Though today no brick tower remains, besides a collection of laterite and sandstone blocks. Just to the east are traces of a rectangular man-made reservoir.

Of particular interest though are the 2 large sandstone block that has a male guardian figure carved on them.

The brick tower would of dated from the pre-Angkorean period as it had a lintel depicted in the Sambor Prei Kuk art style, though the remaining sandstone figures appear to be dated to the Angkor period.
