Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The House of Taga (Chamoru: Guma Taga) is an archeological site located near San Jose Village, on the island of Tinian, United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, in the Marianas Archipelago. The site is the location of a series of prehistoric latte stone pillars which were quarried about 4,000 feet (1,200 m) south of the site, only one of which is left standing erect due to past earthquakes. The name is derived from a mythological chief named Taga, who is said to have erected the pillars as a foundation for his own house.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

La Casa Taga[1]​ (en chamorro: Guma Taga; en inglés: House of Taga) es un sitio arqueológico ubicado cerca del pueblo de San José, en la isla de Tinian, en la Mancomunidad de las Islas Marianas del Norte (dependencia de Estados Unidos), en el archipiélago de las Marianas. El lugar alberga una serie de pilares de piedra prehistóricos que se elevan alrededor de 4.000 pies (1.200 m)[2]​ al sur del sitio, sólo uno de los cuales queda erguido de pie debido a los terremotos del pasado. El nombre se deriva de un jefe mitológico llamada Taga, que se dice levantó los pilares como base para su propia casa.
