It is a single-component site dating to the late prehistoric, or Latte Period, in the island's history.[2] Based in part on the local name for the area and the presence of suitable tree species, it has been suggested the site was important in the production ofcanoes. ("galaide" means canoe in the localChamorro language).[3]
