Dolmen – Guksabong
Designation number: Regional cultural asset in Goyang 56
location: Hwajeong-dong, Seongsa-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
Dolmen at Guksabong is located at Seongsa-dong and Hwajeong-dong in Deokyang-gu. There is a military camp on top of Sungra Park to the east of Uulim Nuri. When you come all the way to the military camp, there is a fork about 200m away from the end of the road. The areas near this place are the dolmen on Guksabong. When you come about 50m from the fork, there are dolmen on the first sight.
Dolmen are the important cultural assets that show the culture in Joseon along with Bipahyungdongbum. The ones on Guksabong are the representative cultura in the Bronze Era left in Goyang-si. They are assumed to be made about 2,500 years ago. Stone knives were found in this place, and there are many of the stones that seem to be dolmen. There is a foundation stone on the gorund at Guksabong. There is also a cover stone on top of it. Stoneworks or Kawaji rice seed in the old stone age have not been designated as the cultural asset. Therefore, dolmen in the Bronze Era near Jirung Mountain and Sungra Mountian are the oldest designated cultural assets.
