In November 2005 when I visited the site it was difficult to reach and thoroughly overgrown. It comprises a terraced area with tiki faces carved into some of the lava blocks which form the retaining walls of the terraces. The route to the site crossed a stream by a ford and progressed into thick undergrowth a couple of kilometres from the road. It is located in the Tahauku Valley north east of Atuona. To reach the site you probably need a guide until it is cleared of tropical growth.
