SiteType: Mapunapuna Fishpond (des.). The pond is 40 acres in area with a wall 1600 feet long. The wall, 10 feet wide, 1 foot above the water on the inside, and 2.5 feet high outside, is almost straight, enclosing a small inlet. There are now four outlets (makaha). The wall is principally of coral. Adjoining it on the landward side and near the Damons' house, is a small pond said to have been called Keawamalia. It is surrounded by earth embankments.
