Site Size & Condition: Wat Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Wat Koh Andaet (វត្តកោះអណ្តែត - Pronounced: Woht Koh On-dayt)

A modern temple site where a few ancient artefacts were discovered, including a lingam pedestal (though we are unsure as to the whereabouts of said pedestal is at this stage), fragments of bricks and a large laterite rectangular block. The large rectangular block was last seen here in 2009, we are unsure as to whereabouts in the temple compound it currently sits.

It is reported that these items may have been moved here from Neak Ta Phnom Thngok, though this modern temple site may also be the site of a former temple mound, as we feel that usually villagers would only move decorative or carved pieces from other sites to a 'modern' temple, for safekeeping and/or worship. It just doesn't seem plausible for someone to randomly pick up a few fragments of uncarved sandstone, laterite or bricks and move it to a site for worship.
