Cheonan Seseongsanseong Fortress

This is a teme-style fortress, enclosing the summit of Seseongsan Mountain, 180m above sea level, in Seongnam-myeon, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. It consists of a stone-built inner wall and an earthen outer wall on the mountain's southern foot. The inner wall is about 350m in circumference and roughly 3m high with a steep slope, and includes the site of an east gate 2.8m wide. Lattice-patterned and plain roof-tile fragments, along with pottery shards, have been found within the inner wall, while reddish-brown pottery of the Three Kingdoms period has been found at the outer wall. Records of this fortress are preserved in the Sinjeung dongguk yeoji seungnam, the Daerokji, and the Gabo donghak hyeongmyeongsa (History of the Gabo Donghak Revolution).
