Dolmen is called Goindol in Korean. There are two kinds of dolmen -- the northern style is erected on earth like a table, and the southern style supports a large stone with a small prop stone. The dolmens of Guam-ri originally numbered 13, but only 10 remain at present. Generally, the dolmens are of the southern style and whose covering stone was made to tear off a natural rock. A large covering stone is 6.35m long, 4.5m wide, and 0.7-1m high, supported with 8 prop stones, while four prop stones are usually used.
