Mimyeon-sa was a medieval Buddhist temple now totally ruined. All the treasures of the temple have been moved to another nearby temple and the Mungyeong museum but only this huge monuments remains in situ.
It looks like a simple cairn but contains apparently cuboid stones which seemed to have been placed at the edged of the steps, it might be a 4 or 5 layered proto-pagoda which obviously belong to a Buddhist temple.
The top of the monument is terribly hollowed by mechanical robbery.
