Fauba Archaeological Site

The site consists of an area enclosed by a stone wall that is roughly triangular in shape. The wall is between 1 and 1.5 metres (3 and 5 ft) in height, and is about 1 metre (3 ft) thick. The enclosed area includes a number of stone platforms, and there is a refuse midden outside the enclosure that is believed to be associated with the site. The exact purpose of the site is a subject of debate: although its siting has obvious military benefits (including commanding views of Chuuk Lagoon and other islands of the atoll, it is not clear that it actually saw military activity.^[2]
