SiteType: Waipio Heiau (destroyed). Near the mouth of Kamananui Gulch, Halawa. The structure was on a narrow flat at the entrance of a small ravine running into the north wall of the gulch. The heiau was destroyed a few years ago when there was an attempt to plant cane on this land, and the lines of stones which follow the old furrows are all that remain. My Hawaiian informant told me that the surrounding caves were formerly used as places of burial.
