Te Wheoro's Redoubt
Address: Talbot St, Rangiriri, Te Kauwhata
Website: Website
Restrictions: All Ages
A fortification built after one of the key engagements of the New Zealand Wars.
After the Rangiriri battle, this redoubt was built on Maori earthworks nearby to house a British garrison. It is named after Wiremu Te Wheoro, who occupied it on behalf of the government in 1868-1869 during the Te Kooti campaigns. Noticeboards on the site here and at Rangiriri Pa explain the significance of the earthworks.
