SiteType: Opihikao? A complex of walls, platforms and enclosures covering area of c. 50 x 25m, just mauka of Highway 137. Construction of most of the features is substantial and use was made of water-worn stones. Walls are bi-face with rubble fill, very straight, and run either parallel or perpendicular to other walls in the complex. Possibly the remnants of the old Hawaiian village of Opihikao. ARTIFACTS.
