ABSTRACT

Eastern Seaside of Gangwon province is organized as Eastern frontier province[東界] as military zones in the Goryeo Dynasty. Therefore many military sites exist, and the frontline guard post, called Soo[戍] are distributed. But the location and function of these sites are not clear. This article is revealing location and function of these sites. I conducted a extensive literature search in order to achieve this purpose, verified by field survey. As a result, these sites are defined as a frontline guard post and played a role of function in monitoring and preventing the enemy[東女眞, Jurchen pirates] invading through the sea in early Goryeo Dynasty. Therefore, these site is located on the promontory and mountain of the beach. Some of these sites became reused as a signal fire station to protect its area from the invasion of Japanese Pirates[倭寇] from late Goryeo Dynasty to early Joseon Dynasty.
