This group of tombs is located toward the south, which is on the other side of a low valley with the group of tombs of Bukjeong-ri in Yangsan-gun. In a higher area, the tombs made in a later period were gathered together; in the other hand in a lower place, the graves made in an earlier time were clustered, showing the same distribution as that of the group of tombs of Bukjeong-ri. In 1990 when about 30 tombs were excavated, only the first tomb is classified into a large one; the rest ones are all small tombs. Among them, the tombs in a higher place have the same structure and relics as those found in the group of tombs of Bukjeong-ri. Moreover, a jar coffin, which is valuable since it has a unique form, was unearthed. In a lower area, the stone chamber tomb and front-open chamber tomb were made together. The pottery of the relics excavated here has the characteristic shown in the last term of the large tomb located in the Gyeongju area or in the group of tombs of Bukjeong-ri. Based on this, the group of tombs of Singi-ri seemed to have been made from the 6th through the 7th centuries in the Silla Era. Those tombs serve as valuable material for studying the cultural interchange between the Gaya and the Silla.
