Fort St George sign

The Maori position at Porou pa stood on a terrace across the Katikara River from Fort St George, where this sign was erected. The grave had been marked by a concrete slab laid by a local farmer. Like many New Zealand Wars sites, Porou pa is now private land. Some of the Maori dead were from the upper Whanganui region, where Pai Marire won many converts as a result in 1864.
