The only evidence for this feature is the current OS 1 in map layer. If it exists, it is probably more of a cave tunnel than an arch, as the aerial views do not show any clear entrance - which should be visible if it was tall, since the Kame has sloped sides.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Length is based on the above east entrance NGR and a west entrance at HZ 22096 72735.

This feature has not been confirmed.
