Huntcliff Roman Signal Station

Seasalt

The north east coast of Yorkshire saw the construction of a series of Roman forts, built as an extension to the Roman coastal defence system, and manned from around AD 369. Scattered along the Yorkshire coast from Saltburn to Filey, a group of forts occupied positions which were unlike any of those on the Saxon Shore in the south. They are perched on high cliffs which drop sheer to the sea and they command wide outlooks. Huntcliff Roman Signal Station was one of these stations.
