Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Wat Cham Prum (វត្តចាមព្រហ្ម - Pronounced: Voit Jum Prohm )

Collection of sandstone artefacts and numerous laterite blocks housed in the grounds of a simple wooden Buddhist temple, Wat Cham Prohm. The wat lies on a small square raised area which, along with the number of artefacts on display, suggests it was also the site of an ancient temple. The sandstone objects - partially covered by a large termite mound - include pedestals, sections of rounded colonettes and assorted carved blocks. The colonettes appear to be late 7th or early 8th-century style but are too small to date accurately.
