The Cheorwon Hyanggyo, a local Confucian school, was built in the early Joseon period at this location in Wolha-ri, Cheorwon-eup, Cheorwon-gun, and remained in operation until the Korean War, serving as the centre of Cheorwon's intellectual and cultural life. The character of the remains beneath the school site and of the surrounding earthen fortification nearby has not yet been established, but because of the risk of damage the site was designated for protection first, with further investigation to follow in order to clarify the nature of the remains.
