Attribution (jitei): the Imperial Household Agency's determination of whose tomb it manages — separate from heritage designation.

Its archaeological form, size, date, burial facility, and finds are not known from published sources. The chronicles say Prince Oyamamori drowned in the Uji River contesting the throne against his brother Prince Uji-no-Wakiiratsuko (Uji Tomb)↗.
Field notes
As this is IHA-managed land, worship from the oratory. An oratory stands deep in the residential block.
