This historic place was registered under the Historic Places Act 1980. This report includes the text from the original Proposal for Classification report considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration. Dry stone walling is a construction technique whereby stones are not fixed by means of a mortar. This dry stone wall is an excellent example of the technique using readily available greywacke. It is thought to be some 120 metres long. Being mostly sand and swamp country, Manawatu has no great stone working tradition and the dry stone wall is a rare, if not unique, example of this technique in Manawatu. A date of 1922 has been suggested.
