Summary[edit]

Description
English: One of the largest and most ancient pā sites in Hawke's Bay.

Pā were built by Maori as fortified refuges for times of war but were also secure living places and centres for learning, crafts and horticulture.

Defensive earthworks included steepened slopes, ditches and banks, often combined with timber palisades.
