Ancient Tomb in Yongdu-ri, Haenam: a tomb square in front and round at the back

The tomb is in front of Yongdu Village, midway along the road from Haenam-eup to Daeheungsa Temple. The square front part is shorter than the round back part and slightly lower. A survey team from the Academy of Korean Studies examined it in 1986 and judged it to be keyhole-shaped. Only a few tombs of this type have been found in Jeonnam.
