Field Notes
'Mouse Hole Manor Hall' is a very quaint name. Apparently the original meaning of 'nezumi' was not 鼠 ('mouse') but 寝ず見 ('sleepless vigil'), which says a lot about a fort used as a fortified look-out. The yakata arguably has more to see, however, than the yamajiro (mountaintop castle), which is not common I can tell you. The site has earthworks in evidence such as a karabori (dry moat) on sloped terrain. There is an old home there now which seems to be the rightful inheritor of the old estate.
