Prasat Kusuantang is a group of 3 prasats located on the same laterite base. There is only one stairway in front of the central prasat. These 3 prasats are made of bricks. They all are facing east and they were lined up in a north-south line. The central prasat is larger than the other two prasats. The prasat is in the added corners diagram with the principle corner being the largest. The eastern side of the prasat appears two bases which are assumed to be Banalai.The prasat has been restored. The prasat at the center is in perfect condition. The bottom base is a lotus base made of laterite. Next to it is the whole brick prasat with a porch protruding to the east. Nowadays, the protruding part of the porch has collapsed and only a door frame made of sandstone remains. The layout of the top part up until the peak still exist but not much detail can be seen.The top of the prasats on the side has almost completely collapsed. The northern prasat has a low laterite base. Next to that is a prasat the the whole building was made of bricks. There is an entrance and exit on the east side. Its roof partially collapsed and not much details left to study. The peak of the prasat in the south collapsed more The diagram of each prasat with an added corner pattern was popular during the 16th century B.E. onwards, but from the discovery of the lintel and the decoration of the Naga on the peak determined the age of this prasat that it should be around the 17th century B.E.
