This
stone
lies at the north face of the 'Alealea platform. This stone is quite large and
probably had a very specific purpose, but we don't yet know what that was. There
is a legend that the stone was carried to its place by a gigantic chief to be
used as a lounge. The stone fits into a space between six ancient holes dug
to stand posts in. These posts could easily have held up a canopy of coconut
fronds to shade the stone where a chief could make a comfortable resting place.
Later stories say that the stone was the favorite resting place of Chief Keoua,
the father of Kamehameha. It is for this story that the stone was named.
