Phnom Chisor is a 133 m high mountain in Takéo Province. It lies
about 42km south of Phnom Penh. There is an ancient Khmer
temple, Prasat Phnom Chisor (or Phnom Chisor Temple, sometimes
referred to just Phnom Chisor) located on top of the hill. The
temple was built in the 11th century of laterite and bricks with
