Full Description
Small timber crane with fixed swinging arm and two supporting timber legs. Described in 1989 as having rotted timbers requiring replacement. One of only a few left in situ in the county. (1)
A three-legged jib crane, constructed of a crane arm attached to a central pillar, which is 6m high. The pillar is supported by two angled beams, approximately 10m long, which are sunk into the ground. One of the beams is anchored by a square, drystone construction, 3x3mx2m high. All the fixtures between the beams are of iron, which are rusting. The wood is weathered and beginning to rot, and the base of the crane arm is almost rotten through and very unstable. (2)
