Huge (diameter 75m max) doughnut-shaped henge monuments near Shin-Chitose (Sapporo) airport. 2 of 8 monuments are pierced by a road.
From the centre of the henges, some burial artifacts were excavated, so some archaeologists believe that these earthen circle have similar meaning to other stone circles in Hokkaidō.
