Te Taou Pa submitted by DrewParsons : Approach to the flat topped area of the pa. January 2015 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Te Taou Pa is a Maori hill fort site located on a peninsula at the southern end of Sanders Reserve north of Auckland city. There are midden shell sites nearby and a defensive ditch near the flat top of the pa.

The approach is along a ridge between two beaches which would have given a good outer defense line.
