The best published source for the cone is Fox, A. 1978 Maungakiekie. The Maori Pa on One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill Borough Council, Auckland. It is out of print but viewable at the visitor centre and no doubt libraries in the region.
An introduction to the site and the area is the book: The Castle in our Backyard, Malcolm Peterson, 2010, SOS, Auckland.
