Puuakua

Feature:Heiau
Comments:Heiau described by archaeologist Winslow Walker following a survey of Kaupo in 1929: "Location: Below the house of Antone Marciel Sr. near the trail leading down to the Nuu road. Elevation about 850 feet. Description: Small heiau platform 27 x 30 feet without walls or terraces. Except for its size it would ordinarily be taken for a burial platform. No coral or pebbles seen on the rough platform."

Possibly the same heiau as Puulakua.
Location:Unknown
