Managed as a historic site during the Japanese colonial period, it was comprehensively designated as a historic site in 1963 and redesignated separately from Jinjiking's Tomb in 2011. King Munseong, son of King Sinmu, reigned during the period of Silla's decline but successfully suppressed the rebellion of Jang Bogo, founder of Cheonghaejin, strengthened control over local powers through establishing the Hyeolgu garrison, and undertook extensive repairs to the Imhae Hall. The mound contains no protective stonework or stone altar, with a single stone marker installed on the southern side and a cultural heritage information plaque placed below. The area surrounding the mound is surrounded by pine trees.
