Field Notes
Sōdaidejō was a detached fortification of Sōdaijō, part of a complex of fortifications from the plain all the way to this furthest point along the mountain ridge. Sōdaidejō is a single bailey complex that likely served as a simple look-out. To the forward and rear there is a horikiri (trench). The rear horikiri has a large standing rock on the far side of it, and this rock is said to look like a bear, so it has been named Kumatarō Rock.
