Goryeong was the home of Daegaya and currently cherishes hundreds of tombs. Among the tombs of Jisan-dong, those with definite shapes and relatively big mounds have been named and there currently are 72 numbered tombs.
All of those tombs have round mounds and are classified into large, medium, and small tombs according to the size of mounds.
Large tombs are mostly located higher up on the mountains, medium tombs about half up on the mountains, and smaller tombs around or beneath the large and medium tombs.
Inside, they take different forms including stone panels, stone coffins, and stone chambers. In case of stone panel tombs, they are succeeding the tradition of stone panel tombs of the Bronze Era. As some mounds have several tombs inside, it is assumed that some were buried together with the deceased.
Large quantities of earthenware, brass crowns, armory, helmets, swords, and ornaments have been excavated from the large tombs, manifesting that they are the tombs of the ruling class of Daegaya made around the 4th∼6th Centuries.
