Hagwi Dolmen No. 2

Dolmens are the representative tomb type of the Bronze Age, also called goindol, and are known mainly as the tombs of a ruling class that held economic wealth or political power. Korean dolmens are divided into the table type, in which four supporting stones are erected to form a stone chamber above ground with a huge flat capstone placed on top, and the go-board type, in which a stone chamber is made underground, small supporting stones are erected, and a capstone is placed on top. Hagwi Dolmen No. 2 lies oriented to the northeast within the grounds of Hagwi Elementary School, in Hagwi-ri, Aewol-eup, in the former Bukjeju County; its capstone measures 2.43 m in length and 1.71 m in width. The capstone is supported all around by five flat supporting stones.
