Yokoyama Kofungun
Yokoyama Kofungun submitted by Aska : Chambered cairn no.2 on the hill top. (Vote or comment on this photo)
On the ridge of Mt.Yokoyama (横山 : 255m alt.) which stands between Ayakawa (綾川) town and Marugame (丸亀) city, 6 chambered cairns lie along with several tumuli.

Most of them were levelled flat and are hard to recognize as artificial mounds.

The most accessible path to this site begins on the east side of the mountain, which leads to the relay station for telecommunications on the hill top.
