Rock Cut Tomb in Honshū

During the construction of a mobile phone wave relay station, the rock cut (a soil cliff dug, in fact) tombs were found after when they were almost destroyed. Only 1 chamber with 2 coffins inside was preserved, a strange statues almost like a landed UFO. The gate stone has a "H" shaped symbol of gate-closing bar as the tumulus no.1 of Igami Kofungun 10km away across the Shinji-ko (宍道湖) lake, did they fear of zombie's coming out?
