Two views on the occupant

Archaeological view
An early cluster comprising Tenriyama No. 1 (57m keyhole), No. 3 (82m keyhole), and No. 4 (42m square-fronted); No. 2 is unlocated. Their sequence—No. 4, No. 1, then No. 3—traces changing chiefly mound forms in 4th-century southern Yamashiro. Because this entry covers a group, the 82m length of No. 3 is not displayed as the length of the whole cluster.
Imperial Household Agency view
Not designated by the IHA. Part of the National Historic Site "Tsuzuki Kofun Group" (2022).

Field notes

Unmaintained steep terrain — no entry; view from the foot of the hill.
