SiteType: Loko Paaiau, fishpond at Kalauao. Rectangular in shape, roughly 190 x 600 feet, surrounded by land on three sides. The wall on the harbor side is 3 to 4 feet wide, 2 feet high with one makaha. The three sides toward the land have been evenly faced with waterworn basalt to a height of about 2 feet. The pond was evidently fed by the water from the surrounding taro patches. Tradition credits its construction to Kalaimanuia. Latitude: 21-22-55 Longitude: 157-56-40
