Marae Fare Tai, a stone courtyard with platform and standing stones, built by a Polynesian civilisation and used as a ceremonial and religious site, on the banks of Lake Fauna Nui or Maeva Lake, at the archaeological site at Maeva village, on Huahine-Nui on the island of Huahine, in the Leeward Islands, part of the Society Islands, in French Polynesia. This is a marae tupuna or family shrine, attached to the Fare Tou chiefdom, and its name means House of the Sea. The marae are thought to date from 13th - 15th centuries. Maeva is thought to be an abandoned royal settlement, with many megalithic structures including marae, houses, agricultural structures, stone fish traps and fortification walls.
