This puzzling zig-zag structure barely escaped destruction by an organization that leased an adjacent parcel for car racing. Not visible in the image are upright stones forming the walls of the structure - a traditional construction technique in Tahiti sometimes also seen at Kalaeloa. Some archaeologists maintain that this is a modern military training structure, based on the presence of barbed wire.
