Old Walls of Hangolmok Alley, Gangjin

The walls are earth-and-stone walls (tosokdam) built throughout by alternating stone and clay. The lower section uses relatively large granite stones, while above the middle, thin stones are laid at an angle of about 15 degrees and packed tightly in a comb-pattern, herringbone-like style, with the next layer again crossed in the opposite direction — a distinctive method known locally as "Hamel-style walling" (Hamel-sik damssagi).
