Pā in Doubtless Bay, visited by de Surville in December 1769

A view looking to the south-west of the northern coast of Doubtless Bay. De Surville's watering place is in the left foreground, and the pā is at centre, right of the small sandy beach. He described the pā on the point as being of 'grassy earth with a ditch cutting across a little raised mound. . . . Outside the same ditch is a row of palisades, an excellent means of stopping raids which it would appear they carry out on one another constantly.' The ditch is marked by an indistinct line of shrubs about 10 m outside the pine trees. The fortified area is about 150 by 60 m.
