On a heavenly plateau on the slope of a mountain, 3 burial mounds lie. The mound no.1 (34.23019N,129.20181E) is a square tumulus with 3 layers, reconstructed halfway as it was and halfway as demolished as it is. The mound no.2 (34.23046N,129.20210E) is also a square tumulus with 3 layers but now the top layer is lost and the eccentric T-shaped inner chamber can be seen. The recently discovered mound no.3 (34.23062N,129.20213) is a chambered cairn.
