An upright stone formerly at Kaualaukī Heiau, where hālau visit for gathering laʻau. Aside from this upright, it would be difficult to recognize the site as a heiau, but the remains of a large structure remain under heavy growth on either side of the trail. Unfortunately, a recent visit revealed that the upright stone is missing. - Kukiokāne, 1994

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. - Area 1736 - small platform
