Geochang Gaebong Ancient Tomb

These are five tombs located on the ridge to the right of the national road running from Geochang to Geumcheon. Two of the tombs have been restored and refurbished and now present the appearance of large mounds, while the remaining three remain in a damaged state. Various pieces of hard-fired earthenware scattered around the tombs indicate that many more tombs once existed besides these. No formal excavation has been carried out, so the exact date is unknown, but based on the recovered pottery fragments and the presence of large mounds, the tombs are presumed to date to the late Gaya period. As little has so far been known about ancient tombs in the Geochang region, the Gaebong tombs are important remains of significant scholarly value for illuminating the society and culture of the local indigenous power in this area.
