Setting: A regular flight of narrow artificial terraces descending a steep gully immediately north of radio masts on Whitireia Peninsula, Titahi Bay. Road from radio masts to beach descends along the eastern side of the terraces. Archaeological Features: About 14, regular, distinct, slightly crescentric terraces in small steep gully facing north immediately below radio masts. Largest about 90 metres in length; circa 1 .5 metres wide; scarps circa one metre high. Some have gravel on surfaces. Supporting Evidence: These terraces were regarded by Ongley (1931) as natural features. Daniels (1961, p.27) described the series, but a very detailed study by Macnab (1970) interpreted them as specialised agriculture terraces, with in some instances, imported gravel for soil modification. Condition of Site: Good. Steep slope and presence of access road to beach alongside has generally kept people off the terraces. Some natural slumping and soil creep present. Assessment : From Macnab's (1970) study, documentation and interpretation of this site, it is a unique agriculture terrace construction in the Wellington area. Similar small terrace sets occur elsewhere on this Peninsula (Daniels 1961) but this is the largest, most imposing and the best example known, and thus of considerable importance.
