Matukutureia
Matukutūreia (also McLaughlins Mountain) is one of the volcanic cones in the Auckland Volcanic Field. It has a peak 73 metres above sea level, and was the site of a pā. The scoria cone was originally crescent-shaped and featured Māori terraces and kumara pits, before extensive quarrying reduced it to a pyramid-shaped mound big enough to support the summit water tank for Papatoetoe.
Matukutururu
Matukutūruru (also Te Manurewa O Tamapahore or Wiri Mountain) is a volcano in Wiri, in the Auckland volcanic field. It had a scoria cone reaching 80 metres above sea level (around 50 m higher than the surrounding land), which was quarried away. The lava flows created 290m long Wiri Lava Cave. The hill was the site of a pā. In late 2011 the quarry lake was drained and fill-dumping began on the site. Matukutūruru and nearby Matukutūreia are collectively known as Matukurua (also Ngā Matukurua).
Ash Hill, New Zealand
Ash Hill is a volcano in Wiri, in the Auckland Volcanic Field. A low tuff cone with an explosion crater about 150m wide, it is now covered by industrial development. It peaked at roughly 30 metres above sea level (approximately 8 metres higher than the surrounding land). Ash Hill was named after nearby Ash Road by Searle. Ash Road was named after ash trees, not volcanic ash. Radiocarbon dating gave Ash Hill the age of 31,800 +/- 159 calendar years BP, a similar age to nearby Wiri Mountain.
Cemetery Crater
Cemetery Crater is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field. It is an explosion crater roughly 200 metres wide, located east of Crater Hill. Hard to see even in early aerial photos due to its shallowness, it is now covered by housing. It was first recognised by Ernie Searle in the 1960s. He named it because of its proximity to the cemetery in Puhinui Rd, but the Southwestern Motorway has now been constructed between the crater and the cemetery.
Kohuora
Kohuora is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field. An explosion crater around 600 m wide, 30 m deep and with an irregular V-shape indicating it was formed by at least three explosion crater vents. The crater is surrounded on most sides by a 30 m high tuff ring/cone.
Wiri Lava Cave
Wiri lava cave is one of Auckland's longest lava caves at around 290 metres. It is part of Matukutūruru (Wiri Mountain) volcano, in the Auckland volcanic field. Features such as lava stalactites mean it is considered of international importance. The cave entrance is locked and entry is by permit only.
Puhinui Craters
The Puhinui Craters are located in Auckland's Puhinui Reserve and are part of the Auckland volcanic field in the North Island of New Zealand. They were first recognised as volcanic craters in 2011. A cluster of three small maar craters like these is unique in the Auckland Volcanic Field. Their ages are unknown but most probably all three erupted during the same eruptive episode. They could have been associated with the eruption of nearby McLaughlins Mountain but this is speculation at present.
