This archaeological site is located on the incline of a low hill in a large-scale village spot from the Bronze Age. A pond was dug around the village and was used as a compass for the village for the first time in Korea. V-shaped, the pond is 300m long, 50~200cm wide, and 20~150cm deep, although it appears to have been much deeper in the past. A house lot and a pit dwelling were identified, yielding about 400 types of remains including various earthenware pieces, stoneware, spinning wheels, etc. Based on what can be gleaned from the concept of the pond and the various remains, it is important to investigate the lifestyle and concept of the village during this time period aside from studying the Bronze Age.
