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).〔Manurewa Marae Website ("A Tale of Manurewa" )〕 File:Wiri Mountain from McLaughlins Hill.jpg|The quarried remnants of Wiri Mountain as seen from Matukutūreia.
