What: Prehistoric Maori fortification and town built on a volcanic cone. There is a little on site interpretation. Be sure to get away from the summit where modern road and carparks have destroyed the Maori evidence. Look out for kumara storage pits (see picture).
Storage pits on terraces
What else to do there: Great views over the inner city and harbour and beyond to the Hauraki Gulf.
