One of the best preserved earthworks of the New Zealand Wars, built by the Armed Constabulary in 1869 when Pirongia was garrisoned during the Te Kooti campaigns.
It was intended as a place of refuge for local families. There is still a full two metres of escarpment from the bottom of the ditch to the top of the bank. It is easier here than anywhere else to appreciate how redoubts were built.
Outside viewing at all times.
