Located in Yushu Chuan Township, Jingyu County, from the Bohai period. The site is roughly rectangular in layout, constructed along the mountain terrain, with a perimeter of 1,456 meters, measuring 540 meters from north to south and 440 meters from east to west. The eastern, western, and northern sides are built against cliffs, with low walls made of earth and stone, with remnants about 1 meter high. The southern wall is rammed earth with a base width of 6 meters, a top width of 2 meters, and remnants 2–3 meters high. Outside the southern wall is a moat that is 6 meters wide and 1.5–2 meters deep. There is one gate tower in the middle of the southern wall. First surveyed in 1957 and subsequently re-examined multiple times, the site contains two stone-lined wooden-walled well foundations, and artifacts such as gray clay pottery shards and roof tiles have been collected. The preservation condition is relatively good.
