Signal House Point is a site combining a coaxial field system and semaphore station located in Devon. The coaxial field system represents an Iron Age or Romano-British landscape division pattern, characterised by parallel field boundaries aligned to a common axis, which facilitated agricultural organisation across the terrain. The semaphore station was established during the Napoleonic Wars period to enable visual communication across distance as part of the national defence network. The site thus preserves evidence of two distinct historical periods of land use and military infrastructure separated by over a thousand years.
