South Finegayan Latte Stone Park, Archaeological site and urban park in Dededo, Guam.
South Finegayan Latte Stone Park is a small public park and archaeological site at 74 Golden Shower Lane in Dededo, Guam. It preserves the remains of a latte stone house site, the only remnants of a once-extensive Chamorro village in the area. The park lies within the United States Navy housing area known as Finegayan.
The site marks a Chamorro settlement that was established around 300 years ago and inhabited for roughly one hundred years. It shows the early settlement of the island by this people.
The stone pillars here show how the Chamorro people built their homes and the construction methods they used. You can see how these structures served as foundations for dwellings.
The park is at 74 Golden Shower Lane in the Finegayan naval housing area of Dededo, about 12 km northeast of Hagåtña. It is a small roadside site, so look for the latte remains rather than a formal entrance. Stay on the marked ground and do not move or climb on the stones.
The latte stone house site was occupied around 1700 for only about a century, and it is the sole remnant of a once-extensive Chamorro village in the Finegayan area. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
