Ngā Tohuwhenua Mai Te Rangi: A New Zealand Archeology in Aerial Photographs
Rangiriri Redoubt, Waikato
Rangiriri Redoubt, Waikato
This is the British position, reworking the earlier Maori rear position at Rangiri. The British engineers have formalised a pattern of projecting angles to offer enfilading fire along each flank. It is the most significant extant earthwork of the engagement here, but does not survive in its original Maori form. An historic reserve managed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, the area is grazed by sheep which are creating some tracks but otherwise keeping the site in clean, visible condition. The view is to the north-west.
