Wat Sankor (វត្តសានគរ - Pronounced: Woit Sang-ko)
Large Buddhist wat complex probably constructed on the site of an ancient temple. No foundations as such are visible but the site has the classic slightly north of east-west orientation and a wooded area immediately to the east may correspond to an ancient reservoir site.
There are also various sandstone blocks to be seen in the grounds as well as pedestals, a lion statue, decorative sandstone steps and a collection of assorted ancient Buddha images.
