Description

不明,濠城乡垓下村北150米,省文物保护单位,秦、汉,城址平面呈不规则长方形,西墙微弯,长340米,其余三面墙均为直线,东墙长约260米,南墙长260米,北墙长240米,城墙夯土筑成,坍毁严重,已与城内地面相平,但仍高出城外地面2.2-2.5米,城外东、南、西三面尚存护城河,与沱河相通,宽9米多,城内出土了绳纹筒瓦、云纹瓦当、板瓦、陶器碎片、铜镞、矛、剑、弩机和蚁鼻钱等,发现年份原文未注;与既有表内灵璧县'垓下'一条(6-A6)为不同县、不同图集编号的两处邻近同名遗址。

Context unknown. 150 m north of Gaixia Village, Haocheng Township; a provincial-level protected cultural-relics site; Qin and Han dynasties. The city plan is an irregular rectangle; the west wall curves slightly and is 340 m long, while the other three walls are straight — the east wall about 260 m, the south wall 260 m, and the north wall 240 m. The walls are of rammed earth and badly collapsed, now level with the ground inside the city but still standing 2.2-2.5 m above the ground outside; a moat over 9 m wide survives on the east, south, and west sides outside the city, connecting to the Tuo River. Finds within the city include cord-marked tube tiles, cloud-pattern tile-ends, flat tiles, pottery sherds, bronze arrowheads, spearheads, swords, crossbow triggers, and ant-nose coins. The discovery year is not recorded in the source. This is a different site from the "Gaixia" entry in Lingbi County already in this table (6-A6) — two neighboring sites of the same name in different counties, under different atlas entry numbers.
