Yashima-jō
Yashima-jō submitted by Aska : Site in Shikoku Japan: (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of the Emperor Tenji's forts, built in 663 on the Yashima mesa peninsula in Japan.

The length and width of this fort are unclear, though some excavations have made on the top of the mesa recently, the tiny stone wall upward Urō (浦生)hamlet was the only significant remain of this ruin.
