Three Kings (also Te Tatua a Riukiuta) is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field. What was called "The Three Kings" was a collection of volcanic cones (actually four in number) sitting inside a much larger shallower explosion crater.The Three Kings area has been drastically quarried over the years for the red scoria it contains, and only one of the three large peaks (Big King) remains today, largely because of the water tank that was built on its summit at the beginning of the 20th century. Big King is the property of the Auckland City Council and being a public reserve will not be quarried.
