Museum Friday

Here's an image I found online. It's of Waipao Heiau before it was eventually destroyed during the cane plantation era in Halawa. At what is now in the property of the quarry.
"on a narrow flat at the entrance of a small ravine running into the north wall of the gulch" -McAllister Arch. of Oahu
Another named Waikahi Heiau was lower where the Kamananui and Kamanaiki gulches of Halawa met, also destroyed.
I believe these two could possibly been seen from Keaiwa Heiau in Aiea. Like most heiau were within view point of each other in the golden age of the Oahu dynasty. Viewing more to the east from these locations would probably be seen Leilono at the boundary of Halawa and Moanalua...
