Ta Som is a single shrine on one level surrounded by three laterite enclosure walls. There are gopuras on the east and west sides, which are cruciform in shape with a small room on each side and windows with balusters. The superstructures are carved with four faces. Many of the carving are in good condition and display particularly fine execution for late 12th century works. A huge tree grows from the top of the eastern gopura. Ta Som is the most distant temple on the Grand Circuit.
