The Longyan Tomb Cluster is located about 300 meters southwest of Longyan Village, Dexin Township, Longjing City. The tombs are distributed along a northwest–southeast oriented valley and slope, covering an area 220 meters long and 60 meters wide. There are over 20 tombs in total. Most of the tombs are stone-chambered earthen mound tombs. At the northeastern edge of the tomb cluster, there are remnants of a building from that period. Artifacts collected include lotus-patterned tile ends, impressed-finger-patterned eaves tiles, rope-patterned roof tiles, and cylindrical tiles. About one Chinese li (approximately 500 meters) southwest of the cluster lies a large-scale site dating back to the Bohai Kingdom period.
