Strands of Paʻuohiʻiaka thrive below a clump of pili on the hardpan. All replanting in the upland region must be done above ground because of the danger of UXO (unexploded ordance) just below the surface. - Ordnance at Kahoʻolawe, 2015

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. - Nīoi, 1994

The landowner leased this section on the SE / Kāneʻahe side of Nīoi to a sand mining operation, which bulldozed it. On the day I visited, a member of the Oʻahu Burial Council was there, collecting small fragments of human bone. - Kalakū

Rudy Mitchell identified this pōhaku as Kalakū, a fish god and fish lookout point on the north side of Waimea Bay. It sits on an obscure ledge overlooking the bay. The corresponding pōhaku sits on the opposite side of the Bay, Kalakoi. The stones are also called Kū and Ahuena. - Puʻuomahuka 2, 1990

Ipu o Lono is the name given to the pōhaku in a 1977 article in the Windward Sun Press, which also published an image of a stone 4-5 feet high at this spot. What happened to it is a mystery. Only a small remnant remains on a curbed earth platform. I remember the large stone at this spot from my childhood, when we made trips across the mountain on the old Pali Road. One was not supposed to bring pork past this stone at midnight. The stone was known to everyone in Kailua. - Kiʻi pōhaku - petroglyphs - Nuʻuanu

The only stone at a site with massive earth terraces, all under a thicket of hau. Chunks of branch coral lie in the stream below. The site matches McAllisterʻs 1933 description of Kahekili Heiau. However, members of the Koʻolaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club cite other cultural informants who located Kahekili near the H3 Freeway tunnel. A visit confirmed that a few chunks of coral were present there at that site. - ʻEwa Beach International Golf Course
