Designated as Tangible Cultural Heritage of Seoul No. 74, Graveyard for the Descendants of Lord Yangdo, the An Clan of Sunheung accommodates several tombs, including Yangdogong (良度公) and Angyeongdong (安景恭) (1347-1421) who served as civil magistrates during the late Goryeo Dynasty and the early Joseon Dynasty as well as three other tombs of his descendants. In addition, the site preserves a number of stone figures, including three sindobi for those who served as high-ranking public servants with level 2 pum (title of high ranking officials) or higher during the Joseon Dynasty, eight muninseok, and two jangmyeong. The lineal descendants of Lord Yangdo began with him, and Lond Yangdo is the posthumous epithet of Lord Angyeong. As a founding contributor of the Joseon Dynasty, Lord Angyeong served in high government posts such as Doseungji (current chief of staff to the president), Hanseongbupanyun (current mayor of Seoul), and Daejehak (current president of the Seoul National University or minister). This place offers historic value as a resource for studies on the grave system of the early Joseon Dynasty as several graves from one family are concentrated in one place.
