The greater part of this memoir is an account of earthwork fences in the Aotea / Kawhia area contributed by Owen Wilkes, analysing their form. locations, functions and dates. It includes a gazetteer of the sites. The remaining authors have contributed an introduction, which places the sites considered by Wilkes in a national context and have undertaken light editing on the Wilkes report, which was originally intended only as a site record supplement, but which they thought - rightly - was worthy of wider circulation.
