A section of the wall enclosing a sandy area of perhaps two acres at the intersection of Coral Sea and Tripoli Rd. The organization leasing this land from DHHL bulldozed the mauka section of the enclosure. - Unusual zig-zag structure, Kalaeloa, 2008

This puzzling zig-zag structure barely escaped destruction by an organization that leased an adjacent parcel for car racing. Not visible in the image are upright stones forming the walls of the structure - a traditional construction technique in Tahiti sometimes also seen at Kalaeloa. Some archaeologists maintain that this is a modern military training structure, based on the presence of barbed wire. - Main Gate ahu

A small ceremonial structure with one prominent upright stone, now bulldozed in the construction of the FBI building near the Main Gate of the Kalaeloa / /Barbers Point base. US Navy archaeologists maintained that this was not a pre-contact Hawaiian structure, based on a sketch showing WW II bulldozing in the area. The foundations of a WW II quonset hut lay a few hundred feet to the west. - Small ahu (shrine) near the main gate, Kalaeloa, 2001

This shrine, visited in 2001 with cultural anthropologist Marion Kelly, was destroyed by the US Army in order to construct a large FBI building. Army archaeologists maintain that this is not a Hawaiian cultural site and that it was built on land that had been previously bulldozed during WWII for the construction of quonset huts. - Area 1752 - heiau

Small ahu on a bluff overlooking the ocean. A single pōhaku sits on the makai side of a semi-circle of stones. Note the large pōhaku forming the straight boundary of the semi-circle and near them the curved line of smaller stones forming an interior division. A unique site. - Kaiholena, 2015

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. In the image is the WWII fortification that stands at the point where McAllisterʻs vague map places the fishing shrine. - Site 304 in Kaʻaʻawa, 1994

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

Two stones that might - or might not - be remnants from the koʻa (fishing shrine) at Huilua. The shrine was identified by McAllister in his 1930s survey of Oʻahu, but has not been located since. In any case, the shrine lay not far from Huilua. - Puʻuomahuka 3

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

Its name translates as "the path to far lands." The traditional departure place for voyages to the south. Modern sailors confirm that winds and currents make this an ideal point of departure, cutting the transit time as much as 10 days. According to some accounts, the prominent line of pōhaku that used to extend out into the sea were used as target practice and destroyed by the US Navy.
