This lies along the trail to the summit, on the right as one ascends. A very large, very flat pōhaku lies just below, out of sight. Small stone ʻiliʻili fills the gap between the two uprights. It is possible that there is a deliberate astronomical alignment created by the two uprights. - Lae Kealaikahiki, 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 place for departure. 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. - Kanu kahakai, 2015

Only ʻili ʻili (small stone paving) remains at Puʻu Makani. Since the heiau sites on a steep slope directly above the road, one might suspect that its larger stones were rolled downhill to create the bed of the highway, as happened at other heiau elsewhere on Oʻahu. - 15 10 Keaiwa2i

This platform was bulldozed by the US Army in a cleanup of an area contaminated by lead shotgun pellets at a recreational trap and skeet shooting range. Army archaeologists maintained that this is not a Hawaiian cultural structure. It was taken apart prior to being bulldozed.

This stone was first identified and photographed when the archaeological survey crew had already cleared sites in the area and was recording features. Amazingly, this ahu had not been cleared, and is probably not listed in the feature inventory for this complex.
