STATE & CONDITION:   Unknown

DESCRIPTION:
1. Another distinctively shaped old Piha tree is this pohutukawa on the corner of Seaview Road. It is prominent in many old photos. During the 1930s, the relief workers building the Piha Road had their cookhouse and tents near the tree, and for about thirty years, from the 40s to the 60s, it stood next to the Piha Hall and Theatre. To the right is the old Piha School, relocated to this spot from Taurangaruru in 1960. The school closed for good in 1961, but the school building lingers on, in a somewhat neglected state.

DESCRIPTION:
1. A huge bowed puriri is a landmark at the entrance to Stedfast Park, home of the Boys' Brigade at the end of Glen Esk Road. This once stood next to the school house for the Piha Mill and because of its distinctive shape, can be clearly identified from early milling photos. The building in the distant left of this photo marks the approximate position of the Piha Mill, which ran from 1910 until 1921.

LOCATION:   Piha Domain; Piha

STATE & CONDITION:   Unknown

DESCRIPTION:
1. Additional information by Leah Stevens (13 July 2006):  During the Second World War, Piha was home to the Piha Number 4 Radar Station, perched high on cliffs at the end of Te Ahu Ahu Road. It was the longest serving station in New Zealand opening in 1942 and closing in 1959. It was a COL (chain overseas low-flying) station with a range of 200 miles.
In the 1950s the station was also used for ground-breaking experiments tracking radio stars.
When the station was dismantled in 1959, some of the rimu timber went to make baches, but this building was transported down to the Piha Domain intact where it still serves as a cooking block for campers.
Please see SRF 1101 for more details on the original SITE.

NAME:     CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART

NZAA RECORD STATUS   Brief

LOCAL AUTHORITY:    Waitakere City Council
LOCATION:   Garden Road; Piha

STATE & CONDITION:   Unknown

DESCRIPTION:
1. The Church of the Sacred Heart, nestled among huge pohutukawas in Garden Road, was given by Trixie Wales in memory of her husband Stan. He was an Auckland importer and exporter who was only fifty-two-years-old when he died in 1962. Just before his death, Stan Wales had bought from the Nathans a section neighbouring the family bach. Before the church was built, Catholic masses had been said on Sundays at the Wales' bach in the Christmas holiday season, with Mr Wales driving into Glen Eden to pick up the parish priest. When the congregation increased in size, the Sunday mass was shifted to the Piha Hall and the Wales children remember having to clean out the lolly papers each Sunday morning before the mass was held.
A fund-raising committee collected money to build the church, donations coming from friends and business associates of Stan Wales, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. After the land was transferred to the name of the Bishop of Auckland, Trixie Wales, and later her family, continued to take responsibility for the maintenance of the church and its grounds.
The 140-seat church was dedicated on Sunday, 25 October 1964 by Archbishop Liston. It was designed by Walter Nicholls, its dominating feature being a steeply sloping canopy entrance, reminiscent of a Hawaiian fale. The church was for some years used for services by other denominations as well as Catholics. It closed on 8 April 2001.

STATE & CONDITION:   Collapsed - site identifiable.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Beside hauler at top of Anawhata tramway.  This was part of the timber extraction operations by the Piha Mill which removed timber from Anawhata 1916-1921.  Built in 1910s (1916?), collapsed by 1930s.  Site identifiable.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No specific mention, location or policies in Waitakere Ranges Management Plan 1992.
2. Additional Information by Amanda Young 2000. The hauler and bunkhouse are said to be located beside the Anawhata Road near the White Rock Track.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
The bunkhouse is associated with the Government's milling of the Anawhata Valley between 1916 and 1921. Seven driving dams brought the timber down to a holding dam. The timber was then hauled on the Anawhata Tramway over the ridge to the Piha Mill. This was constructed by NZR (New Zealand Railways) in 1916. The railway is the final extension of the “Piha Tramline”.  The bunkhouse was constructed at the top of the incline between Anawhata Valley and Piha (Marawhara Valley).

DESCRIPTION:
1. Near cliff top at end of Lograce Road.  Complex included barracks, cookhouse and engine shed.  Built late 1943, closed 12/1945, demolished 1963.  Debris remains.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. 1999 Fence and concrete foundations remain.
2. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).  Field checking of the site is recommended.
3. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No specific mention of site, or location given, in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan 1992.
4. Additional Information by Amanda Young 2000. The site was visited by Amanda Young and Jan Barnes 20/12/1998. It is situated at the end of Log Race Road (off Te Ahu Ahu Road) with remains visible next to the carpark. The area is covered in coastal scrub including flax, cabbage trees and manuka. The creation of the car park would have destroyed some remains. More recent earthmoving in this car park area has also occurred. Remnants including concrete foundations still exist over an area to the south and west of the carpark. One of the buildings may have been moved to Piha Domain. There are various signals still present including a "ball" one that was placed there after the war.  Jan said there used to be "concentration camp" fence around the whole complex. There are remains of the 1940s fence in good condition (see photo). They used the creek down the valley to the east for water and there is a small pump? down there. A square watertank is situated to the right of an access drive adjacent to Mercer Bay Loop Walk start. 20m down the track are concrete conglomerate blocks that were used to hold up the aerial mast.  The access gate to the whole rader station was about 50m back down Log Race Road (on the straight at the bottom of the hill).
Jan refers to Whites Aviation photos - good aerial view of complex.
5. Additional information by Robert Brassey 9/12/2005:  The Piha radar station was an RNZAF COL (Chain Overseas Low-flying) (Type B) station.  It was built late 1943, closed Dec 1945, placed in C&M Sept 1944 (Cooke 2000: 668-71)

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
Significant for historical reasons as part of  the World War II coastal defence network and therefore the site also has international historical associations.  The radar station has landmark value, community associations and educational potential.

DESCRIPTION:
1. On east side of Ahuahu and Piha Roads junction.  First house built in 1900, burnt down in 1905.  Second house on same site built 1900s, demolished c.1930s.  Both used as accommodation houses.  Site identifiable.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. [Jan Barnes 6/5/93] This was Thomas and Augusta's house.  Harry the propritor was their son.  The first house was built prior to 1892, possibily the 1870s.  Ocean View was built on the same site c.1905.  The Ussher house was used as an accomodation house after 1899.  It was partly demolished in 1926.  The back part remains on site.   Neville Ussher & family lived there after 1926 as their farmhouse.
2. [Bob Ussher 28/4/92] The big kitchen, laundry and storerooms of Ocean View were converted into a small house still in use by the family.
3. Addtional Notes by Amanda Young May 2000. Young accompanied by Jan Barnesmade a site visit on 20/12/1998.  The house is on land owned by Jan Barnes. The 1907 rear of the house is still there part of the farmhouse rented out by Jan (refer to photos on ARc photo file. Jan is not sure where the original house was located, however, it may have been to the north west where the trees are.
Also on Jan's land is evidence of the old road. This is visible across the slope to the south of the boarding house and part the new barn. Next to the road is a slightly flattened area which perhaps was the site of a stables or shed. There was a building here in the 1920s.  When Jan planted trees here she found latern glass, white china fragments and a possible harness ring.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No location given nor mention of the site in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan (1992).
Additional information by Leah Stevens (13 July 2006): Schools have come and gone at Piha, according to the population and enthusiasm of education authorities. For most of their history the schools have had to make do, in houses, bachs and halls. In 1910 a school opened at the Usshers' Ocean View House, but this moved to a site at the Piha Mill in 1913. As the teacher was shared with Whatipu, school took place only half the week. By 1920 there were sixteen children on the roll, but the next year the school shut down as families moved out with the closure of the mill.

Later, the Piha School reopened at the south end of Piha Beach in a bach owned by Ted Le Grice. In 1927 Mr Greinhow, the teacher, announced that he was leaving, and Lucy Le Grice, aged sixteen, took over as sole teacher.

After a closure of some years, in 1947 a number of parents began agitating for a new school. The next year a school was opened in the Piha Hall but this only lasted a year. In 1954 a school was once again opened in the hall. Some children came from far afield. The Hettig children were driven by their father to the beginning of a two-mile-long foot track leading from the Anawhata Road to North Piha. They were collected from there by Dot Mercier in her Austin A40 and driven the last leg to the school.

In 1959, with the roll at twenty-one, and after continual complaints about the lack of toilet facilities at the hall and the difficulty in heating it - one winter day a temperature of 46 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded - a piece of land was purchased from Les Crichton next to the Piha Hall. It was a great day when the old Taurangaruru School arrived at the site, but the celebration did not last long, for in 1961 the school once again closed. It has never been reopened despite the efforts of parents.  Information sourced from: http://www.piha.co.nz/frame.htm

LAND CLASSIFICATION:  local body land

STATE & CONDITION:   Additional information by Vanessa Tanner and Robert Brassey (12/03/2008). No visible remains of the mill itself, but related features can be found adjacent to the site and archaeological remains are likely to be present below the ground surface.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Powered by steam.  Built and used 1910-1921

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. [Amanda Young June 1997] Graeme Murdoch notes that the West Coast Timber Co Mill, which had been operating at Karekare, shifted to Piha in 1910.  The Piha Mill operated from 1910-1921.  Timber for the mill was hauled over a tramway to Karekare and on to Whatipu.  Some of the mill may be situated within the Regional Park but other parts are definately not.
2. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No location given nor mention of the site in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan (1992).
3. Additional information (2007): Note on the back of attached photo 'No Pih Mill - after NZR took over'
4. After the mill closed the mill site passed into the hands of the Church of Nazarene (ca 1950s), and then the Boys Brigade.
5. Additional information by Vanessa Tanner and Robert Brassey (12/03/2008). Based on photographs of the mill, the whole of the flat at Steadfast park was utilised by the mill. The site had a number of buildings including the sawmill proper which was on the site of the present Christian camp kitchen and dining block and associated buildings including the smithie were located on other parts of the flat in the general vicinity of the current ablution block and wastewater disposal area. A hauler line for dragging logs in to the mill appears to be located to the east of the sawmill building. The majority of the flat was used for timber storage. Most of the mill housing, including the cook house, was located on the lower slopes of the hill on the south side of the Piha Stream predominantly on private property but extending onto regional park land. There are some land mark puriri trees which can be used as reference points to line up past structures with the present landscape.

2. Additional Notes by Amanda Young 2000. The Black Rock Dam was visited on the 3/7/1999.  It takes approx. 30m from the Glen Esk Road end up the Piha Valley Track then onto the Centennial Track. The dam is situated above a slight drop (c.5m?) at the head of the Piha Gorge. There are 4 cills remaining including the one with the tom hole. At the two sides of the dam are what is suspected are the two kelsons, one on each side and half buried in the banks. There are also remnants of the flume floor with one plank almost intact and two half length. On the true right bank is a channel cut out of the hill side in front of the dam.

The Black Rock Dam is associated with the Piha Mill which operated 1910-1921 (refer to record for Piha Mill). The dam is reasonably well preserved and is easily accessed from a popular walking track. This plus its association with the Piha Mill gives it interpretative potential.

STATE & CONDITION:   Marawhara Track follows a short section today.

DISTRICT PLAN NAME:  Waitakere City Council District Plan Operative 2002 1998 2002.  Heritage Appendix Archaeological sites
PLAN NUMBER:  CHI 207
EXTENT OF PROTECTION:  Bush Railway Line "Former railway line remnants, from Anawhata Rd to Marawhara Stream, Anawhata Rd to the Anawhata River and Glen Esk Rd to Usshers Farm." The southern most marking for this railway line on the Plan Map (27) is slightly North of the grid reference given on this record E2641012 N6472454. The markings then meander over the Anawhata road, toward Anawhata.
CRITERIA:  Historical values

DESCRIPTION:
1. Between Anawhata Holding Dam and Piha Saw Mill.  Built 1916, used until 1921.  Length 6km.  Several bridges and steep inclines. Marawhara Track follows a short section today.  Ran along the tidal area of North Piha.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).  Field checking of this site is recommended.
2. (JACK DIAMOND 1997)  You'll find cuttings and what looks like a formed road or track.
3. [Kim Tatton June 1997]  Graeme Murdoch notes that this length of tramline is the fifth section of the Piha Tramline.
4. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No location given nor mention of the site in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan (1992).
5. Additional Notes by Sarah Ross (16 March 1999):  The metric grid references above refers to the eastern point of the tramline only (for mapping purposes).  The western end of the tramline is at E2642531 N6471388.
6. Additional information by Amanda Young 2000. Young, Dave Luxon and West Auckland Tramping Club members visited the northern end of the tramline during a visit to the holding dam in May 1999. It was accessed by taking the Kuataika Track which comes off  the northern side of Anawhata Road. Follow the track down to Anawhata Stream and then stream bash down stream. This takes approximately 1 hour from the road. The first indication of the timber industry complex is a large iron hoop attached to a large river boulder (see photo on ARC photo file).  Apparently another matching hoop also used to be there (reported by members of the West Auckland Historical Society). The bunkhouse and the tramway are up the bank on river left . About 75m downstream and round the bend is the holding dam.
The location of the bunkhouse is indicated by building and machine debri scattered around a flat area above Anawhata Stream. A small tributary cuts down immediately to the east. Remains (cuttings, timbers, iron railings) of the Anawhata Tramline are evident from the eastern side of the tributary and can be clearly followed up the hill.
The site is presently in bush. Any subsurface evidence should be relatively well preserved, however, surface material is scare - probably a combination of disintegration, and official and unofficial removal. There is some threat from visitors (especially to the machinery) although most people come to see the nearby dam and may not know about the tramway and bunkhouse remains. There is continuing threat from collectors ie "bottlers".

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
The tramline is part of what is generally referred to as the Piha Tramway (although it had different names depending on the time period). The route ran from Whatipu Wharf to Anawhata and is an important link between several historical and cultural landscapes.  The tramline is well preserved and is a particularly good example of the tramlines relating to timber extraction in the Waitakere Ranges.  The Piha Tramway has high community esteem being part of a popular beach walk and well known by the community.  Being in an area of high visitor usage it has educational significance.
The Anawhata Tramline was the 5th sector of the larger Piha Tramline.  Kauri in the Anawhata Valley was the last to be felled in the Ranges due to the problems of extraction.  Driving dams flushed the logs down to a holding dam in the gorge.  They were then hauled up the tramway and over the ridge to North Piha and then to the Piha Mill.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Pitsaw pit.  Located in the upper Nihotupu Stream catchment on a large flat beside the Piha Road.  Used by Cowan's sawmill in the 1900s.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).  Field checking of this site is recommended.
2. Also refer to BUILDING 856
3. (JACK DIAMOND 1997)  Charlie Cowan's sawpit.  He had a traction engine that he would transport the circular saw on a trailer with to areas of bush.  The saw was 6 feet in diameter and could cut 2.8 feet.  There was a well beside it but we never found it.  One chap told me that a horse fell down it and had to be pulled out.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
The sawpit is a representative example of the sawpits associated with the timber industry.  These were used to mill isolated stands of Kauri that were inaccessible to large mill sites.
The archaeological potential is presently unknown.  This needs to be further investigated.
The sawpit has community esteem demonstrated by it's listing on the Waitakere City Proposed District Plan and the City of Waitemata District Scheme.

2. [Jack Diamond 1997]  This site is a good one.  The old Piha Road used to go over the top of them, but they diverted the road (surf club road).  It was just under the Pohutukawa's  at the top of the road.  I think there is a house on the site now.  I can draw a plan of exactly where it was.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional information from Cameron et al. 1997 A Field Guide to Auckland pp. 164. (SE 3737) - In 1902 the growing city of Auckland turned to the Waitakere Rnages as an additional source of water.  A small timber dam was constructed on the site of the present Upper Nihotutu Dam and a pipe and tramline laid around the hillsides of Titirangi.  The concrete Upper Nihotupu Dam was built (1915 - 1923) on a solid base of volcanic conglomerate at the head o fhte deeply incised Nohotupu Gorge.  Workers, supplies and cement came by barge to a wharf at Parau and thence by tramway and steep incline up the lower Nihotupu Valley to connect with the pipeline track.  The picnic and lookout area at the end of the road below the dam was the site of the workers' camp when the dam was built.  The original pipeline route was shortened on the 1920s with 23 tunnels being driven through the spurs.  Each tunnel carries the pipe and a narrow-guage tramway for maintenance purposes.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional information by Vanessa Tanner (12 July 2006). Being of villa construction the building is of an earlier date than previously recorded and is consistent with the following information from: http://www.piha.co.nz/frame.htm

This black creosote villa opposite the RSA in Beach Valley Road has perhaps the richest history of any building in Piha. It was built in 1913 for the Sidney Millington, the Railways Clerk at the Piha State Timber Mill, who lived there with his wife Mary and two small daughters. The old photo shows Sidney milking the house cow, and the color photo was taken from approximately the same position, at Easter 2000. Many years ago the verandahs were opened up and it lost its timber chimney. In the 1920s, the house was owned by Richard Kibblewhite, who made the first - failed - attempt to subdivide Piha. In the 1930s it was purchased by Consuelo Ketterer, who opened her legendary tearooms next door. In her day there was a monstrous rubber plant on each side of the front steps, and a khaki army tent was usually pitched beside it. This was home to the Spivs & Drones Club.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional ifnormation by Leah Stevens (13 July 2006): These two grand old macrocarpas in the Piha Domain go back to the nineteenth century. Some think they are part of a circle of macrocarpas planted by Jack 'Pa' Bethell when he farmed at Piha in the 1890s, but they may be older. The Ness family, who, with the Cowans, first started farming in the Piha valley, had their farmhouse at Piha by the 1870s, and photos from the 1930s show Peter Ness standing in front of a macrocarpa very like the one in the photo - only younger.

LAND CLASSIFICATION:  local body land

STATE & CONDITION:   Under regenerating forest, surface artefacts present

DESCRIPTION:
1. Dwelling site, probably associated with the Piha Mill, which was in use 1910-1921.  This site appears to correspond with a building that is faintly visible in archival photographs of the mill and surrounding area.
2. Broken bottles and ceramics exposed on surface.  One of the bottles had "Grey and Menzies ltd" on it.  There were also broken square bottles in thick blue glass, another with "condiment of (something) Auckland", some china fragments and some window glass.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. The West Coast Timber Co Mill, which had been operating at Karekare, shifted to Piha in 1910.  The Piha Mill operated from 1910-1921.  Timber for the mill was hauled over a tramway to Karekare and on to Whatipu.  Some components of the mill are situated within the Regional Park but other parts are definately not.

2. We had walked up the Piha Valley track and stream, then up and over a ridge (west of the stream) and into a small unnamed stream valley.  Holly spotted a bottle half covered in soil by the stream.  We then walked up a small slope and found more bottles and china.  The site was at the tip/end of this ridge, just before it became a boggy wet stream, we saw the house site. It had younger vegetation on it than the surrounding bush and was quite light and open with a kanuka canopy (the rest of the ridge was a regenerating kauri ricker).  It is only a 10 minute walk from the grassy border of the Stedfast Park camp area.

LOCAL AUTHORITY:    Waitakere City Council
LOCATION:   238 Piha Road; Lone Kauri Road; Karekare

STATE & CONDITION:   According to Bob Harvey (2001 in: Rolling Thunder the Spirit of Karekare, page 62), the lone kauri was 600 years old when it was cut down.. According to Graeme Murdoch (27/06/2008), the lone kauri was cut down by Lang Freeth of the Odlins Timber Company in the 1950s.. According to arborist Willie Conenradi (27/06/2008) the tree stump has recently been further exposed by a slip on Piha Road. The stump is in poor condition, rotting, not likely to last more than five years.

DESCRIPTION:
1. According to Bob Harvey (2001 in: Rolling Thunder the Spirit of Karekare, pages 61-62), Just before the Karekare turnoff, the travellers would have sighted the famous lone kauri. There was a track to the Pararaha Valley which led to two sawmill settlements, working the upper Pararaha. If the travellers looked closely they would have noticed that the tree was dying. It was eventually felled by the council. The stump can still be seen today, 200m west of the turnoff from the Piha Road. The track became the Lone Kauri Road.
2. According to Graeme Murdoch (pers comm 27/06/2008), when the main milling of the Upper Karekare Valley a single large kauri tree was purposely left on the side of Lone Kauri Road. The tree was cut down in the 1950s as it was considered to be in poor health and disturbed by roading etc so Lang Freeth of the Odlins Timber Company milled the tree. The trunk was transported out on a large truck, its felling and transportation is very well documented photographically. The timber of it was largely used for making kauri bench tops.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional information by Rebecca Harfield (04/07/2008). The stump is located on the nothern side of Piha Road, visible at the eastern end of a large slip in the road. The attached photographs 17593_1-3 were taken on the 4th of July 2008 shortly after maintenance on the slip began.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Middens were found right along the high dune 1/4 mile back from the high tide level and to the seaward side of Garden Road.  Rising up to 40 feet above the road and about 100 to 200 yards away from the cliffs inland, this dune is now lined with holiday homes.  The Pohutukawa  trees left on top of the dunes are not more than sixty years old, but some very old trees of this species are to be found hereabouts.  Enclosed between the dunes and the cliffs were several small lakes of fresh water, and one of these is still in existence today (1966). Midden consisting of shell, charcoal and hangi stone could be seen along the crest and sides of the dune in 1928.  Diamond was told adzes, a stone pounder and sinkers were found here, but has not seen them.  Houses have now been built along the top of the dune, which has been levelled in places for house sites.

DESCRIPTION:
1. At the end of Anawhata Road, which in 1966 finishes at the top of the cliffs above the bay, is a gently sloping area of about one acre.  The area which slopes inland to the north-east from the cliff edge was cultivated by the Maori  in older times.  Diamond has no further details except was told by Mr David Ness there were no forest trees growing on this site when his father was there in the 1860s, but he said pumpkin vines were growing among the low scrub.  Mr John Bethell who bought land at Anawhata in the 1860s mentions in his manuscript  that there was open farm land in this area.  The site is typical of the places chosen by Kawerau people of the coast  for their cultivations.

DESCRIPTION:
1. On flat at end of Garden Road.  In whares, cultivated Maori gardens, pre 1890s.
2. North of the Piha Stream (on flat at the end of Garden Road), the Wekatahi Stream has near it's mouth several acres of warm, sheltered, gently sloping land facing the north.  This area was cultivated in pre-European times and in European times by the Maori (pre1890s).  Diamond was informed that gourds, taro and kumara flourished along with maize and pumpkin in later times.  This stream was known as the Marowharo  or Maori Gardens Stream by residents and trampers until 1940 when a change was made on the survey maps.  A road has been formed through the area and houses erected on either side.  For 12 years a Piha resident cultivated vegetables there for holiday makers.

3. Additional information by Vanessa Tanner 6/12/2001. The terraces along the top of the ridge described as 'indistinct' by Hawyard and Diamond in 1978 are now barely discernable. Did not identify the small terrace and possible infilled ditch to the north of the site (however, my visit was brief). Visitor foot traffic has partially damaged the ridgeline, the foot track is up to 25cm deep in some places. At the westernmost end of the site a stone seat hase been constructed on the surface of the terrace. Adjacent to the seat in a patch of ground (1-2m) has been eroded by foot traffic as it is a lookout point, the exposed earth is a light yellow/brown clay soil. The terraces on the southern side of the site are the most clearly defined features, although sloping.  Midden (as described on the 1977 SRF) is still visible on this side of the site which is currently covered in native bush and not subject to visitor impact.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION:  Lot 2 DP 124027
LAND CLASSIFICATION:  land classification not known

STATE & CONDITION:   NZAA Condition:  partly damaged, continuing minor damage. Earthworks covered in regenerating native bush with some open areas of flax and gorse along the ridgeline.

DESCRIPTION:
1. On ridge knoll, 80m above sea level, above the first corner on Garden Road. The ridge to the east of the Pa is cut by a ditch 2m wide and 2m deep.  Eight pits between 3 and 5m in length are distributed along the ridge for a distance of 50m.  Several terraces occur along the ridge facing south, with a substantial midden under Karaka trees at the eastern end.  Consists Perna, Thais, Modiolis and Tuatua.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional information Ian Lawlor (2 Feb 2005):  The site (Q11/56) and associated land block was inspected with Shona Myers (Team Leader – Natural Heritage) and Jonathan Gulland (Project Leader – Parks Property) at the request of Councillor Sandra Coney.  Brian Rainger, the landowner hosted and guided us during the inspection.  The present vegetation cover is low regenerating scrub and coastal forest;  old potting mix bags - one nearly full, discarded plastic water containers and collapsed chicken wire indicate recent (last 2 years) marijuana cultivation activities.  Brian reported that he has actively sprayed and removed weed species including gorse and ginger.  In places there are dense concentrations of flax masking the ground surface making observations of the terraces and pit depressions difficult.  A rough sketch plan of the site was made (attached).  The main earthworks comprise a transverse ditch and bank across the ridge (with a possible second adjacent ditch) and a series of six major ‘layered’ terraces running down the ridge in a westerly direction from the defensive ditch for approximately 50 metes.  There is a steep bluff running the length of the northern side of the ridge providing excellent natural defences.  There are at least 12 pit depressions (some may be masked by vegetation cover) with the majority concentrated on the top terraces that are slightly larger in size.  Pits vary in size from 2 x 2m to 3 x 5m.  Shell midden was observed in the vicinity of the ditch and bank including mussels and gastropods indicating rocky shore fishing activities.  Along the ridge line are the remains of the old post and wire fence.  A few old puriri posts were noted, one lying on a terrace at the top of the site (refer to photo).
2. Additional information Ian Lawlor (18 Feb 2005):  Pa site Q11/56 (Source, NZ Archaeological Association Site Record File), called Maungaroa after the bush covered ridge on which it is located, comprises a 50m  long by 20m  wide area of earthworks located on a low 80m  high ridge knoll above the Piha valley (Garden Road) and beach.  A short transverse defensive ditch, 2m  wide and 2m  deep, and low remnant bank, divides the site off from the main west-east aligned ridge that runs inland towards the Waitakere Ranges.  Within the area contained by these earthworks and the steep northern bluff, there are six layered terraces facing out towards the south.  On the terraces there are the remains of 12 pits depressions possibly representing kumara storage areas or semi-subterranean dwellings or structures.  A small area of scattered shell midden by the ditch comprises rocky shore species.  Assuming the pits are rua kumara, the site appears to have been a lightly defended settlement occupied for a short period, a minimum of one winter season but more likely over a period of a few years, during the prehistoric period.  The pa is a significant historic place being important because of having high archaeological, scientific, historic, tangata whenua, educational and integrity (i.e. state and condition) values.

Pa site Q11/56 [N41/55] was first recorded and entered into the NZ Archaeological Association Site Record File in 1963 by H. J. R. (Bob) Brown.  During the previous decade Brown developed a historical geographic model of occupation of the Tamaki area based on Maori Land Court records and field survey.  A critical review of this work, including an update and de-emphasis of some points of argument (e.g. volcanic soils be waste ground and vegetation densities) can be found in Sullivan’s publication entitled ‘Maori Gardening in Tamaki Before 1840’ (p.16).  Regardless of these points, she concluded:  “Brown provided the first organised approach and introduced themes of major importance into the discussion of the history of the Tamaki region, in the role of volcanic soils, the place of fern root, and the areal needs of shifting cultivation” (p.17).

Some 10 years later the site was again visited and recorded by Jack Diamond and Bruce Hayward; it is referenced in their 1978 ARA publication on the ‘Prehistoric Archaeological sites of the Waitakere Ranges and West Auckland…’ (pp. 24, 78, 88-87, 101 and 121).  They identified the site as one of 53 pa in their area of study and stated it is “One of the better preserved pa on the west coast of the Waitakere Ranges and is potentially of considerable archaeological value” (p.78).  Within their rating guide for site management purposes (an unofficial guide) they assessed the site as being of ‘greater than average importance’ (Class Two); their study included a total of 550 places, 12 of which were considered ‘of special archaeological, traditional and visual importance’ (Class One) – 30 other sites were grouped together with Pa site Q11/56.

In scientific terms the site has the potential to provide evidence and knowledge relating to the human history of Piha and the wider Auckland region.  Regarding the integrity of the pa it is in a relatively good state of preservation, particularly when compared with some of the other west coast headland pa that are exposed to the erosive forces of the prevailing winds that come off the Tasman Sea.  Although the site was grazed in the 1960s, and it is now covered in regenerating bush, patches low gorse, manukau and flax, the only impact is that the ‘crispness’ of the earthworks (i.e. terrace-edges and backscarps, pit depressions and ditch) has been dulled .  The fact that the substrate includes large quantities of wind-blown sand may have added to this effect.

DESCRIPTION:
1. (Hayward & Diamond 1977; 1978) On Lion rock, Piha.  Three natural divisions in the Pa: a lower area of terraces and middens on the lion's buttocks, a middle area of 7 well defined terraces and middens on the lion's northern shoulder, and an upper tihi area of 7 terraces, pits and midden on the lion's Head.  Midden Consists Perna, Thais, Lepsiella, Melagraphia, Modiolus, Eliminus plicatus, charcoal, burnt rock and fish bone.  The largest of 5 pa around Piha.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. (Cameron, Hayward & Murdoch 1997) Lion Rock was known traditionally Te Piha after the wave pattern created by the rock.  The important Kawerau pa on the rock was known as Whakaari because of its prominance.
2. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No location given nor mention of the site in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan (1992).

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
(Hayward & Diamond 1978:71-2) This pa is rated class 1 because of its visual and traditional value, and its potentail for intensive interpretational presentation.  The earthworks are not particularly well preserved and much of the scientific value has been lost by trampling by sightseers and slips on the lower eastern part of the pa.

STATE & CONDITION:   NZAA Condition:  partly damaged, continuing minor damage

DESCRIPTION:
1. At the foot of the Piha hill where the road crosses the stream bridge a side road (Glenesk) turns up to Piha Valley. The site is on the south side of the stream at an ox bow meander 50 yards above the road bridge.  Site appears to part of the Piha Domain and has a mown surface.  The area is enclosed on three sides by the stream bank, generally five to six feet high.  The site slopes down from the road to the remaining shallow ditch which cuts the site across the butt of the projecting land.  The trench has been back-filled from it's original width and depth.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional information by Graeme Murdoch (Aug 2007):  This ditch is one of the stream deviations recorded on The Piha Stream by Haywood and Diamond - Z2  N41/003478.  The stream deviation was cut in the 1910s to help stop flooding of the Piha Mill and lower the stream valley.

LAND CLASSIFICATION:  land classification not known

STATE & CONDITION:   NZAA Condition:  partly damaged, no information on danger. Old stock damage, now in regenerating gorse, pampas and grass.

DESCRIPTION:
1. On large rocky rounded knoll that prominently overlooks Piha and the Piha Road and is 260m asl., Identified after a fire in 1975.  Flat topped knoll with some terracing visible, and a single pit, 4 x 2 x 0.3m on a terrace 5m below the top, on the NE side.  Karaka is numerous below on this side.  Shell midden was found eroding from the ground on this side and from rat burrows below this pit.  Thais, Perna, and Tuatua.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Additional Information by Jan Barnes to NZHPT (Dec 1999):  The site [located at] Q11 421 702, p. 39 Hayward & Diamond, 1977, is well known to my family.  My mother was one of the Usshers, who have farmed between Piha and Karekare, since the 1860s.  I believe the south side of the site was part of the farm, until a boundary change, late last century.
We called the site "the Pa" but I remember being told that it was probably a lookout post.  It is on a very prominent rocky knob, overlooking Piha Valley with good views up the coast.
I probably first visited it in the 1940s, but on a later visit, with my older brother, not long after the 1952? fire, I saw terracing, and one or more pits.  My brother remembers the midden material quite well.  He says some of the shells were very small.
There are also caves or crevices below the summit, which contained human bones.  (There were other burial sites on this side of Piha).
I think this site is probably Te Angiangi, which was on the boundary of the Taitomo block, purchased by the government in 1854.  (See Turton's Deeds Receipt No. 58, Turton's Deeds 1854, p739.)
A number of fires have swept across the hill and over the knob, since the 1920s probably contributing to the degradation of the site which was noted by Hayward & Diamond in 1977.  About 1993 and 1997 there were major fires which involved intensive firefighting activity, including aerial dropping of water by monsoon bucket.  The soil and midden material on the rocky knob was left exposed to wind and rain.
Some distant views of the site are in Sandra Coney, Piha, a history in images, p42 (c.1916), p 143 (1930s) p 78 (1940s).

DESCRIPTION:
1. 0 to 50m north of end of North Piha Road, beneath a large slip that is now revegetated at foot of cliffs. A 1937 manuscript in Auckland Museum Library by G.J. Garlands, records two large caves at the north end of north Piha that were covered by a huge slip in 1879.  This spot is the only one that fits the description, and two further caves occur just beyond the slip.  Garland recalls that the caves were full of many human bones, which he believed to be from cannibal feasts.

STATE & CONDITION:   Collapsed - site identifiable.. NZAA Condition:  Partly damaged, risk of severe damage.. 1998 Various old plantings (hydrangeas, rhododendrons (sp?)) in the vicinity. Corrugated iron, timber, old fencepost which may or may not relate to the Saunder hut.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Piha Road, Upper Piha.  On north side of road on bend.  Built c,1880s, collapsed in 1930s.  Site identifiable.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).  Field checking of this site is recommended.
2. (JACK DIAMOND 1997)  "Old Darkey Saunders who was the first white man, he came from Jamaica, he swore he was white ....  Darkey's defacto wife was a waitress down at Kawau Island with George Grey ... she had to walk out to Piha to the mill ... and she would bring afternoon tea and they said she was marvellous, put doilies on the table and everything.  I doubt that you will find Darkey's place.  It was a slab hut.
3. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No location given nor mention of the site in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan (1992).
4. Additional information by Amanda Young (2000): Jan Barnes and Young made a site visit in December 1998. The site is on the northern side of Piha Rd and is recognisable by a exotic hedge along the road frontage. Just to the west of a driveway on the bend.
Jan Barnes related the following - Darkey Saunders and Agnes were originally living on the other side of the road, perhaps on flat area in front of the macrocarpas which mark the line of the old road. The photograph may be of the earlier house. There are rubbish pits on the eastern side of the macrocarpas. These may relate to this Saunders house or to the neighbouring Byles House which was on the knoll to the west of the trees, between the old road and the new. The Saunders land was sold and in c.1896 they moved across the road just a bit further east onto a small acre block. Jan doesn't know where Agnes's grave is but thinks it may be across the road in the old Piha Domain. The story about the house falling down on Darkey's head is correct. He was a gumdigger.
Only the second later house site was inspected. It is very overgrown and contains bits of  rubbish as well as a dog kennel, a chook run, timber, old fenceposts and corrugated iron. Some of these remains may relate to the Saunder house. There are also exotic plantings - the hedge, hydrangeas, rhododendrons and a holly bush. Pits are apparent all over the section. Nothing is recognisable as the remains of the house although there may  be subsurface evidence. Any such evidence is unlikely to be under threat except from bottle hunters or collectors.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
Darkey Saunders's Hut is a representative example of a bushman's hut similar to many that were scattered over the Waitakere Ranges and other bush areas of the region.  It is associated with two local "characters" Martin 'Darky' Saunders and Agnes Horseman who were perhaps two of the best known and most colourful characters in the bush camps of the Ranges.  There are documents, oral history and photographs of the couple and their house.  Agnes's Grave is nearby the house.
Archaeologically the slab hut may provide information to contribute to the domestic history of the 19th century.  The structural and surface evidence may still be present representing various domestic activities.

DISTRICT PLAN NAME:  Auckland Regional Plan: Coastal, Operative 8 October 2004

DESCRIPTION:
1. Tramline between Piha sawmill and Whatipu wharf with an extension over to Anawhata.  Built / relaid in the 1910s along line of former Footes Tramline, then Karekau Tramline, then Karekare Valley Tramline with new incline sections over Piha Hill. Used from c.1907 to 1921[?]. Length 14km. Some portions immediately abut coast. Described as N41/010481 to N41/037366.
Footes tramline, Pararaha, ran between the Pararaha Mill and the Whatipu wharf. Built 1870s, used until 1880s by Karekau mill. Down valley and over sand dunes. Described as N41/016407 to N41/037366. Karekare Tramline Extension was built c.1881 after Pararaha Mill burnt down and the operations were relocated to Karekare.  The extension extended Footes tramway through to the new mill, Karekau Mill.  The Karekare Valley Tramline was built at the same time to bring the logs down from the valley.  Karekau Mill was closed in 1886.  The route was also used by Karekare Mill in 1906-10.
2. The Piha tramline is the 4th sector of the larger Piha Tramline that ran between Piha Mill and Whatipu Wharf where the timber was shipped out.  Built along line of former Footes Tramline, then Karekau Tramline, then Karekare Valley Tramline with new incline sections up over Piha Hill.  Used from c. 1910 to 1921.  Length 14km.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).
2. [Jack Diamond 1997]  On the incline running up and down into Karekare they hauled the logs up by winding stations on the top of Piha Road and the loaded truck ran down the other side.  The machine would wind the large cables and as it hauled up from Piha it paid out on the Karekare side.  On the Piha Tramline towards Whatipu the waves used to come right up to the cliffs in 1916 so they had to build the tramline on a terrace around the cliffs.
3. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): General reference to historical resources in the 1992 Management Plan.  Only specific reference is to the Karekare - Whatipu tramway (pp 122-123).
4. Additional Information by Amanda Young. Dianne Harlow recently carried out an archaeological assessment of 36 Piha Rd for a resource consent application by Coastal Environments (Archaeological Survey and Assessment Report for Resource Consent Application. May 1999. CHI # 3734). The proposal is for 21 bush lodges situated on the northern side of Piha Hill. The Piha Tramline runs through the property. Locals have stated that there was also an associated wooden structure, a machinery pit and a tramline loop on the property. Harlow identified evidence of the tramline, a cuttings, a terrace and historic remains. The location or presence of any of the reported structures was not verified. The proposal places lodges along the line of the tramline. Although all identified material is avoided any unidentified remains or sub surface features will be at risk. The line of the tramline will also be broken. The Historic Places Trust submitted to the resource consent that further archaeological work be carried out to adequately locate historic structures identified in archival material and oral tradition. They further submitted that all development should be kept clear of the tramway, including the view shaft, as it is of regional significance. It is not certain what stage the application is now at.
Please note further that the site record form filed by Harlow contains incorrect information regarding associated SR numbers. Not all of Q11/369-374 relate to the Piha Tramline. Q11/369 relates to the Karekau section and Q11/370 relates to Footes; the other numbers are not part of the tramline.
5. (Kim Tatton and Amanda Young June 1997)  This site was assessed during the Waitakere Historic Sites project.  It is believed to be worthy of consideration on the Proposed Draft Regional Schedule (refer to Significance Statement for reasons).  Field checking of this site is recommended.
6. [Kim Tatton June 1997]  Graeme Murdoch notes that this length of tramline is the fourth section of the Piha Tramline.
7. [Jack Diamond 1997]  On the incline running up and down into Karekare they hauled the logs up by winding stations on the top of Piha Road and the loaded truck ran down the other side.  The machine would wind the large cables and as it hauled up from Piha it paid out on the Karekare side.  On the Piha Tramline towards Whatipu the waves used to come right up to the cliffs in 1916 so they had to build the tramline on a terrace around the cliffs.
8. Additional Information by Amanda Young (1998): No specific mention of site, or location given, in the Waitakere Ranges Management Plan 1992.
9. Additional information by Dianne Harlow (1999) after visiting GR E: 2642200 N: 6470300. Property is located on the east side of Piha Road as it winds down the Piha Valley. Site is at the far eastern end of the property in the southeast corner along a north/south ridge. It is near the southern boundary which meets the Ussher Farm. The site is part of the first section of the "new Piha tramline" from the Piha Mill in Piha Valley to Karekare. it is also termed the 4th sector of the "larger Piha tramline" which extended from Anawhata to Whatipu Wharf. The new secrtion operated from  1910 to 1921. On the property was once a wooden structure on supports each aproximately 10ins by 10ins, a pit with househole machinery, cable, wheel and pulley. There was also a loopline for the loaded bolster (Ussher family: pers.comm). Other sections of the Piha Tramlline, excluding this section are recorded under Q11/369 to Q11/374. A description of the remnants and plan of the site are attached.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:
- consider including with Whatipu historic area
The Piha Tramway (referred to by different names depending on the time period) ran from Whatipu Wharf to Anawhata.  It is an important link between several historical and cultural landscapes.  The tramline is well preserved and is a particularly good example of the tramlines relating to timber extraction in the Waitakere Ranges.  The Piha Tramway has high community esteem being part of a popular beach walk and well known by the community.  Being in an area of high visitor usage it has educational significance.
