BangChon-ri Dolmen
BangChon-ri Dolmen submitted by tomlee : BangChon-ri Dolmens in Jangheung county. There was a story that Jangheung county has a lot of dolmen compared to the other counties. But, most of them were demolished or have disappeared due to poor understanding. I have been here two times. Some of dolmens weight in here is around 2~3 tons the others are about 5~10 tons. Almost 100 dolmens are on the hill. Thanks, Tom Lee Its... (Vote or comment on this photo)
