Stockade Hill, Howick : ウィキペディア英語版 | Stockade Hill, Howick Stockade Hill was the location of the stockade built to protect Howick, New Zealand and its population from Māori during the New Zealand Land Wars. It is located on the main road into Howick. Howick's war memorial is located in the centre of the remains of the stockade's earthworks which are readily visible today. ==History== The stockade was probably built in 1862, for defence of homesteaders against the perceived Maori threat during the New Zealand Land Wars. The precise construction of the stockade is not known, but it was probably constructed of loop holed sheets of iron surmounting a ditch and bank, and enclosed barracks for regular troops. Women and children slept here at night for several weeks in 1863 when there was fear of attack during the Land Wars. Bavarian mercenaries stationed here in 1863 erected a Christmas tree, believed to be the first in New Zealand, and sang carols.
