Description
Though noticeable in only a few places, this earthen defensive embankment extends eastward from the entrance of Gyeongju's Daereungwon Ancient Tomb Site, around Ancient Tombs in Hwango-dong, and from there, northward to Bukcheon Stream. This historic site was almost destroyed. When and why it was constructed are not known for sure, but it may have been constructed during the third year of the reign of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo Dynasty (1012) since historical records show that a bank of stones was built in the northern part of Gyeongju at that time.
