Fish trap, Onāwe, Banks Peninsula
Fish trap, Onāwe, Banks Peninsula
The fish trap is marked by the distinct arched band of seaweed immediately offshore, at centre left. The seaweed is attached to the original rock wall which is probably lower in height than it was originally. Towards the shore, the stone wall appears to have been destroyed. The view is to the north-west; the fish trap is about 25 m across. On the broad ridge are some of the defences of the pā itself, to be revisited in chapter 14.
