Civil War redoubt on Crankley Point is a seventeenth-century defensive earthwork located in Nottinghamshire. The redoubt dates to the English Civil War period and represents the military engineering of that conflict, when fortifications of this type were constructed to control strategic positions and supply lines. The monument survives as an earthwork with characteristic bastioned or angular design typical of Civil War fortifications, reflecting the tactical requirements of the period. Such redoubts were typically small, self-contained defensive structures built rapidly to meet immediate military needs during the campaigns of the 1640s.
