Mochong
Mochong or Mochon is a major prehistoric archaeological site on the island of Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands. It is an extensive village site on the northern side of the island with 47 latte stone house sites, including an extremely rare structure with 14 columns. It also has a latte stone wall, consisting of six columns and five slabs, that is more than 50 feet (15 m) long. The site has been radiocarbon dated to c. 1000 BCE. The site was first sketched in the early 19th century by the French explorer Louis de Freycinet, and was in remarkably intact condition (compared to those sketches) in the 1980s.
