Wat Har (វត្តហារ - Pronounced: Woit Har)
The site of a modern temple that was likely built on the foundations of an earlier site. The temple sits to the east of a man-made reservoir by the name of Boeng Ha. An inscription catalogued as K.57 was discovered in the temple compounds, when the northern area was dug out to construct a small pond. The inscription dates to the 10th century under King Yasovarman I and is broken into three pieces, with 23 lines of Sanskrit on one side and 16 lines on the other. A small neak ta shrine houses a few sandstone fragments, including a whole linga, and fragments of some statues. Nearby there appears to be half a sandstone lion and a few laterite blocks.
Upon a recent visit, the linga was no longer present and the current whereabouts is unknown.
