Probably the remaining feature of Pāhulu Heiau. The stones are where McAllister described them: 600 feel north of the ruins of the old sugar mill, out in the water. An elderly member of the family that owns the land across the road recalls a platform there which perhaps was connected with the heiau. All features would have been destroyed by the WWII airfield that occupied that field. - 08 3 Halawa85 Ahu

A natural sea cave with a collapsed roof within Kupalaha Heiau. Twenty years ago, a older resident of Kohala commented that the collapsed roof of this cave was just a small opening in his youth. The name is spelled differently in different sources. If it is Kupalaha, then the name is identical to that of the heiau for the sun, located where the bandstand is now at Kapiʻolani Park, Waikīkī. - Mailekini

This pōhaku was probably not recorded because it lay adjacent to a bulldozer berm made during WWII and because there were no associated cultural features, like a platform. However, the stone had no bulldozer blade marks and appeared to predate the nearby berm. - A small platform and upright in area 4278. It may still be there.

An archaeologist familiar with sites on Kahoʻolawe island commented that if this had been found there, it would have been identified as a koʻa (fishing shrine). However it was identified as a "temporary habitation" in the Oneʻula archaeological report, along with most of the other 400 listed sites. - A large structure in area 3215, bullldozed to create the footprint of the ʻEwa Marina

The upright was at the makai end of a small platform. In the bushes further makai was a low, linear platform in excellent shape, which unfortunately I never photographed. The archeologist who surveyed this area for Haseko Corporation wrote in his report that this and nearly all other 400 sites at Oneʻula were "temporary habitations." - A platform in area 4278 designated preservation. In theory, it still exists.

The upright stone on the platform was not firmly set in place. It may have been put up recently. Of course, it may originally have been intended as an upright. [Note - prior to photographing I clear sites but NEVER move stones.] - Site E3 in the mountains above Honolulu.
