This granite stone pagoda, comprised of a three-story body placed on top of a single-layer stylobate, is located in the front yard of Daeungjeon Hall of Cheongnyongsa Temple.

The Three-story Stone Pagoda of Cheongnyongsa Temple has a single-layer, rectangular stylobate at its center and a three-story tapsin (body) that is 2.38 m in height. The jidaeseok (upper foundation stone) is made out of two sheets of stone and is topped with square and round supports. The myeonseok (side stone) is made out of four panseok (flagstones), and each side is sculpted with uju (side pillars) and taengju (central pillars). The slanted, lower plane of the gapseok (flat stone laid on top of another stone) consists of one sheet of panseok (flagstone), and the upper plane features a three-tier support.

The tapsinseok (body stone) and okgaeseok (roof stone) are each crafted out of a single stone, and each side of the tapsin (body stone) is sculpted with the two uju (side pillars) in an orderly fashion. The heights of the tapsin (stone body) rapidly decrease with each ascending floor, creating a somewhat disproportionate feel. The okgaeseok has a steep slope and slightly lifts up at the edge, creating a cheerful feel and a clear gable line. Although the stone pagoda is missing some parts at the top and has been partially damaged, it is an important structure that reflects the stone pagoda style of the Late Goryeo Period.
