Takiroa Rock Art Shelter

The Takiroa Rock Art Shelter is an archaeological site located along State Highway 83 near Duntroon, New Zealand.

[3] The shelter is open to public viewing, with fences constructed to protect the artwork from damage.

The Takiroa Historic Area features several Māori drawings made from ochre, bird fat, and charcoal.

[4] Depictions of European settlers are also apparent, which feature the likes of horses and ships.

[3][5] Fences were erected in 1930 and 1964 in order to prevent damage to the artwork by livestock and visitors, however these measures were generally ineffective.
