Batseom Ancient Tombs in Naedong-ri, Haenam in detail
Batseom Ancient Tombs in Naedong-ri, Haenam, on top of Oedo, reached along a seawall
The tombs are on the top of Oedo (Batseom), an island close to the coast of Naedong-ri. From the center of Bugil-myeon, take the road toward Naedong-ri to the shore, then follow the seawall running northeast a little farther to reach the island. The island is low and its top leans east, so the east slope facing the open sea is steep and the southwest slope facing the inner sea is gentle.

On the island's summit, 22.5 m above sea level, the two tombs lie about 10 m apart on a northwest–southeast line. Tomb No. 1 to the south is a round mound about 20 m across and 1.5 m high. A stone coffin tomb about 200 cm long and 60 cm wide is exposed at its top, and traces of a surrounding ditch about 4 m wide run around its edge. Tomb No. 2 is 15 m across and 1.5 m high, and the stone coffin tomb exposed at its top is 50 cm wide and more than 180 cm long. On the seaward east side, the island slope has collapsed and washed away part of both mounds.
