This building site lies in the northwest of the Guigong Palace, about 160m east of Tiesuo village, Liucunbao township, Weiyang district, Xi'an city, Shaanxi province. It consists of two large-sized house-foundations arranged from north to south, seven small house-foundations between them, and six ruined walls. The unearthed terra-cotta and pottery objects include bricks, tiles, tile-ends, supports, spindle whorls, jars and lamps. In addition, there are irons, stone tools and copper coins. The houses seem to have not been suitable to human living and activities and must have been a complex of storage rooms built in the Guigong Palace in the mid and late Western Han period, the discovery of which provides important material for studying the structure and layout of the Guigong Palace.
