Archaeological investigation of land adjacent to the stone store, 19 Princes Street, Onehunga: sites R11/2466 and R11/2580
Description: "Stone Store Properties Ltd have undertaken earthworks at land to the rear and to the west of the historic Stone Store (R11/2466) at 19 Princes Street, 13-19 Princes Street and 9-13 Wharangi Street, Onehunga (DP 25555, DP 47824, DP 49054, 4 DP 9426, DP 52360, DP 61167, and DP 93778). The area had been occupied by the Grove Mitre 10 Outdoor Expo building at the corner of Princes and Wharangi Streets prior to a major fire in 2008 which destroyed it. While the Stone Store suffered only minor damage during the fire, the remainder of the site to the rear was cleared. Archaeological excavations were undertaken in three stages from 19December 2012to21 June 2016, with the area to the rear of the Stone Store investigated first (Stage 1), and an area along Wharangi Street at the south-western corner also examined (Stage 2). The primary investigation along the Princes Street frontage (Stage 3) under the carpark provided the majority of archaeological features and artefacts."--executive summary.
