[A fortified town or village called a Hippah, built on a perforated rock at Tolaga, New Zealand].

View of Arched Rock, Tolaga Bay.

 ‘After breakfast we all went ashore to see an Indian Fort or Eppah.. We went to a bay where were two, we landed first near a small one the most beautifuly romantick thing I ever saw. It was built on a small rock detached from the main and surroundd at high water, the top of this was fencd round with rails after their manner but was not large enough to contain above 5 or 6 houses; the whole appeared totally inaccessible to any animal who was not furnished with wings.’
Banks, Journal I, 431-1, 12 November 1769.
