The site is called “False Kiva” because people falsely believed the main round structure is a kiva or ceremonial room. However, these big structures were fairly common shelters for ancenstral Puebloan people living in the area around A.D. 1200. Partial excavation and stabilization of the big structure in 1986 showed it was only used for daily activities like cooking and sleeping. The absence of a midden or garbage area indicates the site was only occupied for a short time, although the presence of the storage cists indicate that foods were stored there.

Since the site has become well-known, visitors have ground down the grinding surfaces, and knocked over the walls as they climbed on and into the structures. Visitors have also piled more rocks on top of the structures, trying to make them look larger. If these impacts continue, the site will be damaged beyond repair. Please leave the site as you found it.”
