Description
Danggan were flagpoles on which flags (dang) were hoisted at the entrance of a temple to mark special occasions such as Buddhist ceremonies or prayers. The flagpoles were supported by two stone buttresses called dangganjiju. These two unadorned flagpole supports stand 70cm apart at a site about which there are no known records, although the discovery of numerous fragments of broken roof tiles has led historians to conclude that it used to be occupied by a temple. The flagpole supports are believed to have been erected in the middle of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), around the same time as the nearby Three-story Stone Pagoda in Huimang-ri, Hongcheon (Treasure No. 79).
