Yangsan-kobungun (English: Yangsan-kobungun)

Japanese: 梁山古墳群 - りょうざんこふんぐん（英語表記）Yangsan‐kobungun

They are located in Bukjeong-ri, Singi-ri, and Bubu-dong, Yangsan-eup, Yangsan-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. They are located on the east bank of the Nakdong River, with two groups of ancient tombs located north and south across its tributary, the Myeonggok River. The group of tombs, located on the ridgeline extending northwest of Seonghwangsanseong (Buksanseong) in the north, consists of more than 100 circular tombs. Tomb No. 10 in Bukjeong-ri (Yangsan Couple's Tomb), at the western end of the group, was excavated in 1920. It is a circular tomb about 27m in diameter, a pit-type horizontal-entrance stone chamber tomb with a short passageway. The remains of what appears to be a married couple were buried in an extended position on the coffin platform (stone floor) inside the burial chamber.
