Anteo Prehistoric Park is a park where you can glimpse the prehistoric culture of Okcheon. It has one dolmen and one standing stone. The Seoktan-ri dolmen is Anteo No. 1 dolmen excavated in 1977 by Chungbuk National University Museum from three dolmens in Anteo Village. The capstone is turtle-shaped, and the tomb room was built above ground with four stone slabs, making it a table-style dolmen. At excavation, stones engraved with an X shape, face-shaped artworks, a spindle whorl, and net sinkers were discovered, suggesting the buried individual was female. The standing stone paired with the dolmen has a 90cm diameter circle carved at the lower part using a pecking technique, overall representing a pregnant woman. It is believed to serve as a monument symbolizing the person buried in Anteo No. 1 dolmen and as a protector of the tomb. Estimated to have been erected around the same time as the dolmen, it is a good place to comfortably explore prehistoric tomb styles with children.
