Fort St George sign

The Māori position at Porou pā 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 pā is now private land. Some of the Māori dead were from the upper Whanganui region, where Pai Mārire won many converts as a result in 1864.
