Description

Shows Rangihaeata's stockade, built and captured 1846, at Pauatahanui; pickets; a military tent with a figure in red in the foreground. The terrain appears to be misrepresented; compare R H Wynyard's Old stockade at Pahatanui [1852]

Title from verso; initials and date indistinct

Date (apparently 1823) is wrong. More likely to be 1846 or later. The stockade was built and captured by British troops in 1846.

The pa was located at Pauatahanui on the low hill that is now the site of St Albans Church
