Rota Latte Stone Quarry, Ancient stone quarry in Rota, United States.

The quarry contains enormous limestone pillars, with some megaliths measuring up to 25 feet in height and weighing 35 tons each.

Archaeological evidence indicates the quarry dates back to at least 845 AD, when indigenous Chamorro people extracted stones for building foundations.

The site features nine haligi bases and seven tasa caps, representing the traditional architectural elements of ancient Chamorro housing structures.

The quarry location near Sinapalo village provides visitors access to view unfinished stone formations and learn about prehistoric construction methods.

If completed and erected, the megaliths from this quarry would stand 0.5 meters taller than those at the House of Taga on Tinian Island.

Location: Rota
