This feature lies close to the enclosure at Kapaʻakai, but was not included in the original description of the site. Perhaps a large ahu? A large structure, uncleared, lies in the bamboo behind it. - Kahapaʻakai, 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. - 15 4 Replanting2

Note the two large slabs lying together in front of the upright - perhaps a suggestion of a kohe (vagaina) in connection with the ule (penis, upright). Such male / female (Wakea / Papa, Kū / Hina) pairings are not uncommon - as seen at the heiau in area 1752 a little distance to the west of this complex. - Makai of revetments - a walled sinkhole

US Navy archaeologists maintain that these were not Hawaiian pre-contact structures. They were bulldozed to clear lead shotgun pellets from an area used as a trap and skeet shooting range - even though they lay at the far periphery, and even though the area was designated as one of the very last preserves for the endangered Oʻahu akoko plant. In this image a damaged platform lies adjacent to an intact platform - shown in another image in this album.
