Where the koʻa used to stand, according to McAllister. He comments that it was destroyed when the present road was built, and that one was never supposed to walk behind it.

A member of the Auld family who grew up in this house reports that the heiau was located there in his youth. The house was subsequently purchased by a foreign family, and a swimming pool constructed where the main structure of the heiau was said to be. A section of the very large structure may remain in the adjacent yard. Other members of the family, however, cannot recall the heiau - which may have been destroyed much earlier. - Site 304 in Kaʻaʻawa, 1994

Rudy Mitchel commented numerous times that Puʻuomahuka might not be the name of this heiau, but just the area where it stands. He felt that Hawaiians in the l930s were protective of heiau names and locations and did not always share accurate or complete information with McAllister. - Puʻuomahuka 3, 2015
