Greensforge 5 Temporary Camp

This camp lies on the west bank of the Smestow Brook about 625 feet (190m) north of Camp-4. The camp faces east and is evidently aligned on the river-crossing. Its defensive circuit is substantial but incomplete; the north-east and south-east corner-angles are undefined.
