Te Ahuahu is a 373 m (1,224 ft) high andesitic basaltic scoria cone to the east of Lake Ōmāpere, in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in New Zealand.
[1] It was the site of the pā of Hōne Heke – a highly influential Māori rangatira (chief) of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe) – that was the scene of the Battle of Te Ahuahu during the Flagstaff War of 1845–46.
Here on 12 June 1845 a Maori raiding party led by Tāmati Wāka Nene captured the pā after Heke left it to gather food.
