Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) located between Unyong-ri, Buk-myeon and Hodang-ri, Ipjang-myeon is known as Wiryeseong(castle) that was the early ancient capital of the Baegje Dynasty. The discussion has progressed by local historians in Cheonan(天安) area, and differ the general recognition that the early ancient capital of the Baegje Dynasty is Han River basin. In, fact, Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) was described as the early ancient capital in varied geography of the Joseon Dynasty. Also, the description that Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) was the early ancient capital of the Baegje Dynasty was already begun from Samgukyusa(三國遺事). But there is a record against the opinion among ancient documents of the Joseon Dynasty. Thus, the archaeological study of Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) was carried out. Because Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) is great potential as the early ancient capital of the Baekje Dynasty if it is a fortress of the Baekje Dynasty. The excavation was carried out three times. Finally, it was revealed the fortress was built in the Unified Silla. The possibility that Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) is the early ancient fortress is disappeared. The King Onjo was ascended at Wiryeseong(castle) and transferred to Hanamsi(河南市) because of being attacked by Malgal(靺鞨) and Nangnang(樂浪). If the early ancient capital of Baegje Dynasty is Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) in Jigsan hyeon(稷山縣), the transferred location to avoid an attack by Malgal(靺鞨) and Nangnang(樂浪) approach the area of Malgal(靺鞨) or Nangnang(樂浪). The inconsistency mean that Wiryesanseong(mountain fortress) in Cheonan(天安) has less possibility as the early ancient capital of Baekje Dynasty.
