Prasat Leak Neang
"The sanctuary of the hidden woman"
Date: second half of the 10th century (960)
King: Rajendravarman (posthumous name: Shivaloka)
Cult: Brahmanic

This little tower, built in blocks which are littler than those utilized at Pre Rup, is arranged somewhat toward the north-east of this landmark at around 100 meters from the street. With basic moldings it demonstrates no hint of any embellishment or mortar. The false entryways are in brickwork and the asylum chamber, of just 2m.30 in width, opens toward the east. The sandstone lintel demonstrates Indra on a three headed elephant surmounted by a frieze of little figures in supplication to God. Behind is a twofold timber bar.

The engravings on the door frames portray different gifts and gives the date of 960 - which is sooner than Pre Rup by one year. This sanctuary could subsequently have shaped a section - with others that have following vanished - of its outer fenced in area.
