What:

Prehistoric Maori fortification and town built on a volcanic cone. There is a little on site interpretation. Be sure to get away from the summit where modern road and a water reservoir have destroyed the Maori evidence. Look out for terracing and kumara storage pits.

Great views over the inner city and harbour and beyond to the Hauraki Gulf.
