Sixteen pit-type stone chambers without mounds have been discovered at this site. The individuals buried in these tombs are thought to have been of lower social status than those interred in mounded tombs, or possibly children. This stone chamber measures approximately 147 centimeters in length and 50 centimeters in width, with its main axis oriented north–south. The floor is covered with pebbles, and the walls are constructed by stacking elongated river stones. No grave goods were recovered from this tomb, but based on its structure, it is believed to have been built in the late or final phase of the Kofun period.
