This is a kiln site used from the late 14th century through the 15th century. Based on fragments of bowls, plates, dishes, and other ceramics excavated from this site, it is believed to have been a place where sangam celadon (inlaid celadon) and buncheong ware were produced. Among the 324 kilns across the country listed in the geography section (地理志) of the Sejong Sillok (世宗實錄), it was one of the places renowned for producing the finest quality ceramics. It appears to have been the site where vessels inscribed with "Golyeong Insuebu (高靈仁壽府) Golyeong Jangheungo (高靈長興庫)" were made, which still remain today. The products produced at this site are mostly composed of bowls and plates, and generally the vessel walls are thick, with chrysanthemum patterns, cloud patterns, and swirl patterns being common on the vessels.
