Some tombs made in the era of Unified Shilla Kingdom gather in the southwest along the ridge of small peaks, where one of spurs of Mountain Geumbyeongsan stopped its stretch into the west. Mountain Geumbyeongsan is 652.2m high above the sea level, which surrounds like a back screen Jeung-ri village, Sindong-myeon, in front of Sinnam Train Station on Seoul-Chuncheon railroad.

In 1980, people of the village incidentally discovered a group of old tombs while digging the soil for farming. There were six pieces of earthenware inside the tombs that were prevalent in the age of Unified Shilla Kingdom. They have short feet and are deep. After that, through the study over the surface of the ground around there, it has been confirmed that several tombs were distributed in that place. Those tombs have been designated and protected as cultural properties.

Because the upper parts of the tombs were swept away mostly, we can find out that the place was the site of old tombs only due to the stones (cover stones and piled stones) used for the tombs, which were exposed on the surface of the ground.
Judging from the fact that Chuncheon area belonged to Silla Kingdom since the 6th century, it is supposed that the owners of the tombs were nobles of Unified Shilla, and governed the area.

And the residents of the village sometimes call Mountain Geumbyeongsan as Mountain Jinbyeongsan because soldiers and loyal troops pitched camps (Jin ) on the small peaks of this mountain in wartimes like 'Imjinoeran' and in the end of the Joseon Dynasty. A stone monument named the Mt. Jinbyeongsan War Monument ('Jinbyeongsanjeonjeokbi') was built to cherish the memory of the battles with Japanese soldiers on the peaks where a group of ancient tombs were located.
