Cranes Fort, centre, from footpath to the south.
09/02. The Western bank, the most prominent feature of the fort.
A square hill fort that was discovered in the late 1980’s. It is roughly 10 acres in size, protected on the North and South by natural slopes, a low banking can be seen on part of the North side. The Eastern Bank is very low with a wall running along it’s top. The Western bank also has a wall, but the banking here is more prominent.
Not a great deal to see, but Lathkil dale which the fort overlooks is well worth a walk along.
