Through two rounds of precise surface surveys conducted in 2005 and 2013, it was confirmed that approximately 275 Baekje tumuli are distributed within a 2-kilometer radius of the Jeongeup Yeongwon-myeon area, with 56 Baekje chamber tombs with side entrances concentrated in Eonseon-ri and Dogye-ri, which were designated as historic sites. The Jeongeup Eonseon-ri and Dogye-ri Tumuli Group represents the largest scale of Baekje tumuli discovered to date in North Jeolla Special Self-Governing Province. The chamber tombs with side entrances are a representative style of Baekje burials, and this tumuli group demonstrates the region's Baekje territorial expansion. While most tumuli date to the Sabi period of Baekje, some are estimated to have been constructed during the Ungjin period, allowing examination of the transformation process of Baekje chamber tombs with side entrances. The tumuli group is presumed to be the burial grounds of regional Baekje elites, constituting important research material regarding Baekje's central-local relations, external relations, and political power transitions.
