Ōtuataua is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field. It is located on the Ihumatao Peninsula, in the suburb of Mangere.[1] The scoria cone reached {{Convert|64|m|}} above sea level and was the site of a large Māori pā (fortification). The volcanic cone of Ōtuataua is sited within the Ōtuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve and as the dominant landscape feature, lends the 100 hectare reserve its name. The cone provided a fortified village to the original inhabitants, with the lower slopes of the volcano supporting intensive Māori gardening. The volcanic soils extend all the way to the shoreline where there was access to the abundance of the Manukau Harbour. The sandy beaches and wide tidal flats were once rich with shellfish and the harbour provided fish and a regionally important shark fishery.[2] The Ōtuataua Stonefields are part of an area known as Ihumatao or Te Ihu a Mataoho (“The Nose of Mataoho”). The Stonefields feature Māori stone garden mounds and Māori and European dry-stone walls; the visible histories of Ihumatao are interwoven with the history of Auckland, as it is possible to trace the history of human presence in Auckland from initial Māori settlement to the arrival of Europeans in the 1860s with their pastoral farming techniques.[3] The Ōtuataua cone was quarried in 1950s, and the scoria used for building work—including the building of Auckland Airport. At the completion of quarrying, remedial reconstruction created a shallow, grassy crater. Adjacent to Ōtuataua in the Ōtuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve lies Pukeiti, Auckland's shortest volcano. OccupationA group set up camp beside the road leading to the Ōtuataua Stonefields on 4 November 2016.[4] This was undertaken by them as a last step to prevent a planned development by Fletcher Building.[5] References1. ^{{Cite web|title = Ōtuataua Stonefields|url = http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/en/parksfacilities/premierparks/pages/otuatauastonefields.aspx|website = www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz|accessdate = 7 December 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web |last1=Blithe |first1=Rebecca |title=Gateway to Auckland |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/aucklander/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503378&objectid=11020487 |website=The Aucklander |publisher=New Zealand Herald |accessdate=1 April 2019}} 3. ^Stuff: "Report: rock walls prove 'historic Māori farming' practices" 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/86139049/a-time-and-a-place-ōtuataua-stonefields-historic-reserve-peaceful-occupation|title=A Time and a Place: Ōtuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve peaceful occupation|website=Stuff|access-date=14 March 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.maoritelevision.com/news/politics/tent-embassy-erected-prevent-ihumātao-development|title=Tent embassy erected to prevent Ihumātao development|work=Māori Television|access-date=14 March 2017|language=en}}
