History
The mound of Ainuta is a mysterious segment of piled earth. Its origins are unknown but it is widely held to be the remnant of a fort, Ainuta-rui. A contending theory is that it was a flood embankment (the Shio River is nearby), but I find this strange as the surviving segment leads away from the river, rather than parallel. It we are viewing a cross-section of the embankment instead, then it was fairly wide and flat for a flood defence.
