What:
Prehistoric Maori fortification and place of residence built on a volcanic cone. There is little on-site interpretation. It is one of the better preserved cone pa in the Auckland field.
It is also relatively recent, so the volcanic material is less weathered. There is more exposed scoria than most of the other cones. Covered footwear is recommended.
What else to do there:
Views over the eastern city.
Panmure Basin has a circumferential walk with a bridge over the entrance.
Sylvia Park, New Zealand's largest shopping mall is only a short distance away.
