SiteType: Shelter cave, pahoehoe clearings. There is a rectangular enclosure to the west of the cave entrance with a litter of coral and waterworn pebbles. Midden is plentiful in the cave and in the area that fronts the cave entrance. An interesting feature that distinguishes this shelter from others is that the naturally formed cracks in the surface of the lave bubble have been filled in with additional blocks of pahoehoe.
