Haenam Bangchuk-ri Dolmen Group

Dolmens (jiseokmyo) are the representative tombs of the Bronze Age, known in Korean as goindol, and are understood to have mainly been the graves of a ruling class with economic wealth or political power. Dolmens in Korea are divided into two types: the table-style dolmen, in which four support stones are set upright to form a stone chamber topped with a huge, flat capstone, and the go-board-style dolmen, in which a stone chamber is built underground with small support stones set beneath a capstone. In Bangchuk-ri, Hwasan-myeon, Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, 53 go-board-style dolmens are concentrated within a north–south range of 80 m. This is the largest of the 88 dolmen groups in Haenam-gun, and is also known as the Eunsan Dolmen Group.
