Iksan Ogeum Fortress (Ikto Earthen Fortress) is a mountain-type fortress surrounding the summit of Ogeumsan Mountain at 125m above sea level and a small valley to the south, and its circumference is approximately 690m. Iksan Ogeum Fortress (Ikto Earthen Fortress) had a water collection well confirmed at the top, including the south gate, during an excavation survey in 1984-85. From 2016 to 2018, annual surveys focusing on the summit and the west walls revealed the site of a ridge pillar building and a cornerstone building using cornerstone at the summit. In addition, a new west gate site was identified near the central part of the west wall, and the confirmed west gate site was found to have been closed in later times. In addition, it was confirmed that the foundation of the castle wall was built with stone rather than the previously known earth. Among the relics, existing Baekje pottery and seal ware, as well as the Subu name inscription indicating the capital area, were removed, and Buksa name pottery excavated from the Gwanbuk-ri ruins was also discovered. There are no relics, but judging from the structure of the tomb, it must be from the late Baekje period. Since Mireuksa Temple is nearby, it is known to be the tomb of King Mu of Baekje, who first built Mireuksa Temple, and his queen, Princess Seonhwa.
