Historical and Associated Iwi / Hapū / Whānau
Iwi: Rangitāne (Manawatū)
Other Information
Most of the pa was destroyed when in 1962-63 the carpark to Anzac Park was lowered and fill was removed and used for fill during the reconstruction of Bridge Road (now Summer Hill Drive). Any archaeological remains would have been removed then. There is slight evidence of terracing in bush and pines on the western end of the ridge. Please note that entry on the New Zealand Heritage List/Rarangi Korero identifies only the heritage values of the property concerned, and should not be construed as advice on the state of the property, or as a comment of its soundness or safety, including in regard to earthquake risk, safety in the event of fire, or insanitary conditions.
