The Pukekiwiriki (alternatively spelled and pronounced Pukekoiwiriki), also known as Red Hill, is the northernmost volcano of the South Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand, located east of Papakura, which erupted an estimated one million years ago.

[2] Some areas of Pukekiwiriki have remnant native forest, dominated by taraire, pūriri and kohekohe trees.

[6] The site became a home for the Tāmaki Māori people who descended from her, known as Ngā Marama, who later became a part of the Waiohua.

[5] By the early 19th century, the residents of the area moved from the pā in favour of a kāinga (village) on the slopes of Pukekiwiriki, known as called Te Aparangi.

[4] Te Aparangi was surrounded by extensive farms and orchards, where crops including kūmara, taro and wheat were grown for the growing town of Auckland.
