Wat Sithor (វត្តស៊ីធរ - Pronounced: Woit Si-t'or)
A modern temple site that houses a number of old Buddhist stupa's in varying degrees of preservation. Of particular interest is the one that sits besides the modern vihara built of brick on a laterite terrace base for Preah Bat Srey Sokunbot. Nearby are a number of ruined stupas.
A few large sandstone blocks can be found near the temple, and a large Buddha's feet can be found inside the temple.
Inscription K.111 and K.112 were found here, K.111 was a four sided stele inscription with 50 lines of Sanskrit on each side and dated between the 9th and 10th century, however the whereabouts of this inscription has not been confirmed. K.112 is now broken, and only the bottom fragment remains, the original inscription may have had 40 lines of text on each side. This inscription still remains in situ inside the vihara.
