Site Size & Condition: Medium Ruin Prasat O Dambang (ប្រាសាទអូរដំបង - Pronounced: Oh Dom-bohng)

The site of a brick temple ruin that faces east with numerous sandstone carvings such as a fragment of a lintel, colonettes and pedestals.

The main shrine is surrounded by a laterite enclosure with a ruined east entrance sandstone pavilion or 'gopura'.

Early CISARK reports suggest that the site is a ruined brick temple, though some recent local explorers are saying it is a sandstone ruined temple. It may be possible that the locals have misinterpreted the site plan and thought the entrance pavilion was the central shrine.

Surrounding the entire site is a moat with an east entrance causeway.
