28. Suketayama Kofun

Suketayama Kofun is a square mounded tomb constructed to the south of Nakatsuhime-no-mikoto-ryo Kofun [26].

It is located alongside Nakayamazuka Kofun [29] and Yashimazuka Kofun [30]. A unique construction method was used for these three kofun: their southern sides are aligned, and they share a moat.

The mound length is 36 m, and its height is 6 m.

Cylindrical haniwa have been excavated from the moat.

The construction period dates to the first half of the 5th century.
