Songkyeri

This huge dolmen is located in songkyeri, yongil, korea, on the pass of Mt. ore, being faced to the North. It (upper photo) was excavated by National Museum in 1963, measures about 4m long, 4m wide and 5m high. They found some stone dagger and earthenwares in the pit under the dolmen, I have heard ( I couldn't verify yet ). (Photo taken Dec. 1996.)

And there are so many huge rocks in songkyeri, but I guess over 15 rocks of them are really dolmens with the supporting stones, Most of them measures about 2~3m long and 1~2m high, are on the hill or along the fence of private house on the hillside now. Another 3 dolmens like these dolmens in songkyeri, are located at nodangri, kyongju, beyond Mt. ore.

I could find some cupmarks on the upper side of the dolmens. They had made cupmarks with praying in the front of the dolmen, facing to the north.
