style, during his exile, which was named after his pen name, and has a tablet written by Uam Song Si-yeol

at the northeast of Mt. Gyejok (423.6m above the sea level), which is a guardian mountain of Daejeon Metropolitan

on the inner support construction method (constructing outside with stones and inside with earth), and there are
some places were done with support construction (constructing both outside and inside with stones) across the
foot of the mountain at the east. According to the documents (History Book of the Three Kingdoms), there is a re
cord of the fight between the revival troop of Baekje and General Kim Yu-sin and General Pum Il of Shilla at this

Dynasty and broken ceramics from the Joseon Dynasty are discovered; thus, such fortress had been considered as
being important continuously even until the Goryeo Dynasty and Joseon Dynasty since its construction .
