Art	It is a Khmer-style prasat made of a large laterite that is commonly used in construction work in Khmer culture. The top of the prasat has already collapsed, only the room that used to place the idols and a porch at the entrance, facing east, that still remain. The lower part of the building starts from the floor supporting the lotus petal base. Above the base is a square-shaped Rueanthat with corners added. There is a porch extended to the east with a stairway in front of it. This is also a typical style of the Khmer castle and later, this style was chosen to develop the new chedi by the Sukhothai school which previously probably built in Hinduism or Mahayana Buddhism. It is believed that the upper part of the prasat which has completely collapsed is in a bar shape with layers like other typical Khmer castles.
