à Âtara Hill (also Te Puke o Taramainuku or Smales Mount) is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field. Its scoria cone reached 89 m above sea level (around 59 m higher than the surrounding land) before it was quarried away. The hill was the site of a pànamed "Te Puke à  Tara" meaning 'hill belonging to Tara', who was a NgÃÂi Tai Rangatira (or MÃÂori Chief) of the area.
Like many Auckland volcanoes, à Âtara Hill has a notable tuff ring. It is located between Green Hill and Hampton Park. Green Hill and à Âtara Hill were together referred to as Bessy Bell and Mary Gray after an old Scottish ballad.
