Redoubt at Crankley Point lies 450 yds S of M3609. It is described as a redoubt of the Scots, to secure the bridge. The surviving work is a square enclosure, surrounded by a bank and ditch, each side measuring 65ft along the bank. The bank, 1.5ft high, and the ditch, 1ft 2in deep (max) are 30ft wide overall. A narrow entrance on the N side may or may not be original. (3)
