Located along the beautiful Halawa Valley Drive, this large lava boulder is just sitting near the side of the road. Large rocks, such as this, were used in ancient times like a drum to announce royal events to the rest of the island. If the rock is rapped in the right spot, it resonates and the sound can travel for great distances.

These boulders, called bellstones, can be found on every island. They were mainly used to announce the birth of a future king.
