Oruaka, a pre-European pā above Wairewa (Lake Forsythe), Banks Peninsula

Running up through the centre is the pre-European ditch and bank, with the pits and terraces of the settlement on the slope top right. Outside the major ditch and bank, and postdating it, are irregular ditch and bank enclosures. They may relate to early or mid-nineteenth century Maori settlement; they may be of European origin. The view is to the east.
