Has anyone seen these before? We had a discussion some time ago about trilithons around the world and I don't remember thse being mentioned. Found them on a search for something else.

Oops, sorry! Try this: http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/feature/asia/2001/guam.htm The place is called Fafai Beach, and these structures look like smaller trilithons, although that may be a trick of the photograph. Hard to tell. Anyway, they call them lattes, like the coffee drinks, and they're said to be prehistoric house supports. (I hear Bruce Bedlam crying, "Aha!")

They do appear to be small trilithons in a circle, this one really does deserve the moniker 'like Stonehenge'. Got the location from Acme map, site page added, thanks:

Aluta,
The latte stones remind me of stadle stones used here in the UK to support houses or grain stores on and the curved upper stone resists rats climbing up them.
this link starts off with talking about a connection between the latte stones and SH.

Awesome link, kevin! Thank you. But it does bring up the possibility that we were misinterpreting that first picture I posted the link to. The other photos show latte stones that stand as individuals with separate stone cups on top. Maybe you could nip over to Guam for us and see for yourself.
