Pa site where Hongi Hika defeated the Hauraki Maori in 1821. A large headland pa with the cut off ditch and bank largely intact and some perimeter scarps and terraces. Much of the interior is a modern cemetery which rather detracts from the history of the site.

Pa site where Hongi Hika defeated the Hauraki Maori in 1821. A large headland pa with the cut off ditch and bank largely intact and some perimeter scarps and terraces. Much of the interior is a modern cemetery which rather detracts from the history of the site. More a visit for the historical association than a great pa visit
