This stone tomb is believed to be the tomb of King Guhyeong, the 10th king of Gaya, who was the great-grandfather of Kim Yu-sin. He became the king of Gaya in 521 and reigned for 11 years until he handed over his territory to King Beopheung of Silla in 532. Unlike ordinary tombs, it forms a stepped stone platform in the middle of a sloping hill.
