At the northern end of the Gerald Crapp Historic Reserve, on the headland, there is an area of raised ground. This was the site of Wai-Huri Pā.
It is an important archaeological site, and a deep trench from the pā still exists in the ground. The reserve’s Historic classification rests in part on this pre-European occupation of the headland, not only on the later European settlement.
A short loop walk from Walnut Grove takes you out to the pā site at the end of the point and back through the reserve.
