Chochon-ri Tumuli

These are tombs densely clustered in the hilly area called Jaraol, east of Ochon village, and along the ridge south of Mudongsan Mountain and the mountain range to its west. According to an excavation carried out in 1978, a total of 211 tombs were confirmed to date from the Three Kingdoms period, but most had been destroyed. There are no earthen mounds, but capstones covering the burial chambers can be found some 50–80 cm below the surface. The stone chambers face southwest, and the burial chamber and entrance passage remain intact.
