Many generations ago, every stone was brought by hand up to this bluff from the rivers below to build this heiau (temple). A heiau was often remodeled by a new ruling ali'i (chief) and his kahuna (priest).

Within the walls of this heiau, the kahuna conducted religious ceremonies and rituals. The features erected within the heiau for these rituals disappeared when the traditional Hawaiian religious system was abolished after 1819.
