This, after i lapse of over 40 years had fallen into "decay, and the few surviving old warriors and present day settlers considered that it was a national affair, and that the Government should have a suitable fence and monument erected in the place of the present unsightly affair. Mr Finlay submitted plans’ of a cairn and concrete fence to the Minister, which could, be erected for £79 16s, which lie said was not a largo amount for such a permanent memorial.
