Summary

Description
English: Plan of Ōhaeawai Pā, Ōhaeawai, Northland, New Zealand, 1845

"Note.—Description of Heki's Pah, in New Zealand, by Major Marlow, Royal Engineers, Plate IV.
The dotted lines denote rows of fences composed of trees deeply sunk in the ground, between 9 and 15 inches thick, bound close together by a strong native line or rope at the top and bottom: upon the outer row of trees a screen between 4 and 6 inches thick, and 8 and 9 feet high, was formed from a native plant called the New Zealand flax, which is exceedingly tough, and at a distance capable of resisting a musket-ball.

This screen was kept about 18 inches above the ground, to serve as loop-holes to fire through from the trench marked T T, Plate IV., figs. 13 and 14; S S serving as traverses." William Biddlecomb Marlow, RE, Description of Heki's Pah, in New Zealand
