The Tumulus cluster dates back to the latter of the Kofun (tumulus) period (250 - 538). Excavations unearthed horse tack like bits for horses, Sue ware (type of unglazed pottery made from the middle of the Kofun era through the Heian era), Haji ware (plain, unglazed, reddish-brown Japanese pottery made from the Kofun era through the Heian era), and haniwa (clay figures from the Kofun period).
