Gwangnyeong-ri Dolmen No. 7

Dolmens are the representative tombs of the Bronze Age, also known as goindol, and are known to have mainly been the tombs of a ruling class with economic wealth or political power. Korean dolmens are divided into the table type, in which four supporting stones are set up to form a stone chamber topped with a huge, flat capstone, and the go-board type, in which a stone chamber is built underground with small supporting stones set up before the capstone is placed on top. Gwangnyeong-ri Dolmen No. 7 is of the southern type (type 2), with its burial chamber set underground, and measures 230 cm along the long axis, 218 cm along the short axis, and 66 cm thick.
