Full Description

MY387: Crance emplacement. Cliff side. A concrete base 3 x 3m square, and fittings for a crane are still visible at the landing place at Aneir that is marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6" map. Apparently it was hardly used, to the extent that an iron ladder provided for it was never fitted in place and still lies rusting where it was left at the roadside.
