What kind of script is it? (photo attached)


The marker is on the top of a hill on the way to Yawata Hachimangu in Kyoto
Pref. The site seems rather not significant historically, there were no other
related signs around.

The top character is Sanskrit (probably), four kanji look like 國分寺跡 (although
I am not sure of 分 as the strokes do not follow the regular order).

The real question is: what kind of script is the second character from the top
written in? Is it somehow compressed 山号?

It's kanji written in a different style. I don't know enough to identify
exactly which style, but it looks like a type of 草書体 (you can compare
different styles

The characters are: 鳩ヶ峰國分寺跡
