What is recorded here

Crane Castle is a cliff castle on the Cornish coast where defensive earthworks cut into the sea edge, reflecting fortifications used from the Iron Age through the early medieval period. Its precise dates remain uncertain, but the shape is clear: a narrow refuge built against coastal danger, using the cliff itself as a wall and ditches to keep out what came from the land or sea.

The National Heritage List for England records Part of a cliff castle called Crane Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
