AB - Jangan Fortress is a castle in the late Goguryeo. In connection to the vitalization of studies of the history of ancient castles, it attracts researchers’ attention. The most basic materials in studies of Jangan Fortress are the inscription stones excavated in Pyongyang during the Goguryeo period, and till now, five stones have been excavated. Research on the inscription stones of Pyongyang Fortress is still insufficient. There are divided opinions among the scholars in deciphering them, and especially, their opinions were divided very much, concerning the excavated area, so virtually, there is no established theory about them. The reason why disputes over the area where the inscription stones were excavated are developed confusingly is the inconsistency of information that is seen in the literature record on inscription stones during the Joseon Dynasty period. Therefore, it is necessary to work on analyzing this reasonably. This study made a new proposal about the location where Inscription Stone No. 1 excavated in Pyongyang Fortress, was found, over which there have been divergent disputes till now. According to Kim Jeong-hee’s writing in Haedonggeumseogwon and Oh Gyeong-seok’s in Samhangeumseongnok, inscription stones were excavated in Otan. However, it is clear that Stones 2 and 3 were excavated in Hansajeong Pavilion in the south of the outer castle. Therefore, it is understood that the inscription stone alleged to have been excavated from Otan was Stone 1. In addition, if it is certain that the site where Stone 1 was discovered is near Otan, the content of the fortification inscribed in Stone 1 is concerned with the wall in the south of the middle castle. Concerning the location of the area where Stone 5 was excavated, it was found that errors in Goguryeo Pyongyang Fortress written by Choi Hee-rim of North Korea in 1978 are followed till now. This study presented the location that corrected this, using a tool like Google Earth.
