Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Honshū
In a dune near the seashore, hundred of burial monuments (pits, cists, huge burial urns etc.) and skeletons were discovered. Now only few of the monuments are preserved in a sandpit close to a graveyard.
Among them, a capstone lies. This might be the only one example of the dolmen on Honshū island.
