Hwasun Dolmen Site, Megalithic burial site in Hwasun, South Korea.
The Hwasun area contains approximately 400 dolmens arranged in vertical and horizontal patterns across the valleys near the Jiseokgang River.
Constructed during the first millennium BCE, these stone structures served as burial markers for the ruling elite of the Korean Peninsula's Bronze Age societies.
The dolmens at Hwasun demonstrate the engineering capabilities of prehistoric communities through their sophisticated construction methods and territorial significance.
The site includes informational displays explaining the archaeological findings, construction techniques, and historical context of these prehistoric stone structures.
The largest dolmen at Hwasun measures 7.3 meters in length and weighs 280 tons, representing one of the most substantial megalithic structures in Korea.
