Ueno Castle (Koka)

This is certainly one of the larger Koka castles. The main bailey is a typical 50m x 50m square, with 6 other large baileys built around outside the main Bailey area. Ueno Castle has a particularly interesting feature where the Second Bailey is a leveled ridge that becomes a very long narrow baile

Field Notes

This is certainly one of the larger Koka castles. The main bailey is a typical 50m x 50m square, with 6 other large baileys built around outside the main Bailey area. Ueno Castle has a particularly interesting feature where the Second Bailey is a leveled ridge that becomes a very long narrow bailey essentially hiding or shielding the castle from the main thoroughfare on the southwest side.
