When you are being attacked or raided you will want to try to protect your resources in your village. Using a cranny you can protect some of your resources. It is advisable to build a Cranny before your Beginners Protection ends, upgrading it to cover the resources you normally hold, particularly overnight accumulation.
At level 1 it hides 200 of each resource (300 for Gauls), and at level 10 it hides 2000 (3000 for Gauls).
If a player upgrades the village's Cranny to level 10, they can then build additional Crannies in that village. There is no limit to building second or third crannies.
The Cranny is hidden and therefore cannot be targeted by catapults. It can only be destroyed if the attacker chooses to target a random building. Only then, there's a chance the Cranny would be hit.
