A round tumulus on a top of a hill behind Maginu Jinja (馬絹神社) shrine. The innermost wall of the chamber has pictures of horses' heads. The tumulus is closed to public but Kawasaki Shimin Myūjiamu (川崎市民ミュージアム = Kawasaki City Museum, 35.58865N,139.64775E) has a replica of the chamber.
The character for "Ma(馬)" in the place name Maginu means "horse", as its shape suggests.
