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.] - In area 1387 an upright slab and small platform , bulldozed to make 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." - The heiau across from Oneʻula Beach Park. It was designated preservation and in theory is still there.

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. - In area 3215 a small imu? It held over 400 dog bones. Bulldozed.

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. - An unusual upright stone in area 3216, bulldozed.
