SiteType: Burial cave, Moanalua Valley. On the cliff NE of the highway, just before turning into the road which leads to the golf club, is a burial cave. The mouth at one time was closed with a facing of stones, but has since been opened and the cave looted, the fragmentary remains of skeletons being scattered within. The remains of two coffins near the entrance indicate post-European use of the site. A half-dozen people can comfortably seat themselves within the chamber. No old burials were evident.
