Explanation More than 10 structures have been found so far, and it is believed that they were built one at one time. These structures are thought to have had various uses, including ritual facilities, a watchtower, a lighthouse, totem poles, and an observatory. (The following text has been added to the No. 26 Pillar-supported building remains.) The structure consisted of two rows of three pillar holes, each about two meters in diameter and depth, with a spacing of about 4.2 meters between the pillars, which were arranged in a regular pattern. Wooden chestnut pillars were found in the pillar holes.
