Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Wat Preah Houch (វត្តព្រះហួច - Pronounced: What Prayer Houch)

More Buddhist shrine than wat the structure houses several large, sandstone pedestals a decorated octagonal block and reported statue fragments. The number of artifacts discovered, plus a clearly visible large rectangular base under the shrine, appear to indicate the site is constructed over the top of an earlier construction. Located immediately to the east are traces of a dried up rectangular man-made reservoir Baray Tuol Preah Uy that we suspect measured about 300m x 100m and is orientated 95 degrees.
