Summary

Description
English: Plan of Te Mutu's Pā, Tauranga, New Zealand, 1842–1843
"The section of the pah of Temutu exemplifies the usual defences, but the natives evince considerable military knowledge, and I observed that several of their pahs had their counterscarps excavated, having small openings like embrasures. These, I am told, are used for keeping potatoes, and I cannot learn that they have ever been used for defence." George Augustus Bennett, RE, 1843, Report on the pahs of New Zealand, and the means necessary to attack them with plans and sections of some pahs
