Ngā Tohuwhenua Mai Te Rangi: A New Zealand Archeology in Aerial Photographs

[untitled figure]

At another point on the edge of the terrace, a pā has been built with many pits on its surface. The pā has been constructed by a simple ditch across the ridge with substantial artificial ditches and scarps around the terrace edge. The enclosed area is about 35 by 20 m. The dimples on the surface of the pā are probably collapsed rua while outside the pā, where space is not at a premium, there are a number of open rectangular pits. The distinct rectangular line to the right of the pā is probably stockwear along a former post and wire fence. The narrow ridge in the foreground has a substantial ditch and bank fence on its crest. The view is to the west.
