In Akahanga you can find the remains of an old village close to a small bay (haƞa), located in the middle- southeast coast of the island. 

Right at the beginning of the site, you’ll find the stone foundations of several Hare Paeƞa or boat houses, which receive this name because of its shape that reminds us of a boat upside down, in which the ancient inhabitants of the island used to live in. Right in front of these houses there is small area paved with round stones from the coast (poro nui), that form a terrace. 

Very close to these houses, you’ll find the Umu Pae, which are small stone ovens that were used to cook and prepare the Umu. 

There’s also a small cave, called Ana Akahaƞa which entrance is reenforced with rocks. This cavity considered a “Krava” thanks to its characteristics (small and shallow) was used a temporary shelter, mainly for fisherman to sleep and hide from the rain. 

In both sides of the bay, you can find two Ahu; Ahu Akahaƞa which is 60 meters long and has 12 Moai that are in the ground and in pieces and the Ahu Ura Uraƞa Te Mahina that could’ve had 10 or 12 Moai. Both platforms show signs of the over position of several platforms, which evidences the constant ceremonial activity during the settlement of the clans Ƞaure and Marama, for several centuries.
