OSAMEZUKA TUMULUS


It is a burial mound located near the southeast corner of the front part of Daisen Tumulus(Nintoku-ryo Tumulus ), and considered to be one of its baizukas. It looks like a round burial mound, because the moat around it has already been buried under the land and the front part has been destroyed, but it used to be a scallop-type keyhole-shaped burial mound, facing its rectangular part to the west. It was 61 meters long, the round part about 42.8 meters long and 4.2 meters high. The round part of the mound is designated as a national historical site.
