Roman Signal Station – Huntcliff Saltburn
Show on map An archaeological dig around 1911 / 1912 investigated the remains of a Roman signal station probably constructed in AD 367 and used until AD 390. A chain of these existed along the North Yorkshire coast to warn of coastal attack.
A well was uncovered with the remains of 13 bodies inside, some artifacts from the dig are currently in the Whitby museum.
All traces of the site have now disappeared over the cliff due to erosion, and it doesn’t look like the information board will last much longer either.
Cliffe Ironstone Mine
Show on map Cliffe was a small ironstone mine worked from 1866 to 1887. Virtually nothing remains on the site except depressions and discolorations in a field which mark the locations of the shafts.
 
A railway siding which runs to the shafts and parallel to the current live railway can be identified.
Some remains of the base on which a Fowler traction engine was mounted exist, but I was unable to locate them in the long summer grass.
