Picturesque sandstone and late rite tower in a cool, shaded forest setting, in the area behind the Terrace of the Leper King. The central tower is in rough condition but the eastern gopura displays some particularly nice Buddhist-themed carvings. The date of construction is a matter of some debate. Traditionally dated to the late 12th/early 13th century, but the Theravadan Buddhist themes of some the carvings and some architectural features suggest a construction date in the late 13th or 14th century. The tower was rebuilt and modified in the post Bayon period.
