Wat Preah Ang Poan (វត្តព្រះអង្គពាន់ - Pronounced: Woit Prayer Ong! Pien)
The site of a modern temple built in 1945 that is reportedly built on the foundations of an earlier site. Today the temple houses a unique 2m x 1m sandstone pillar of some sort, with carved meditating Buddha patterns all around. The sandstone monolith is housed in the shrine and to the unsuspecting eyes, one would not make note of it, as it has been painted gold and sits amongst the other more recent Buddha statues.
Numerous other artefacts can be found outside including at least two broken sandstone lions, three sandstone lingam pedestals and a few other miscellaneous sandstone blocks.
