This Roman signal station is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 190 metres north west of Vale House Farm in Yorkshire. Dating to the Roman period, the site represents one of the chain of fortified communications installations established across northern Britain to facilitate military control and intelligence gathering across the landscape. The station would have functioned as part of the broader Roman frontier infrastructure, relaying visual signals between forts and other strategic positions. Such installations were typically modest in scale, comprising a tower or beacon platform with associated defensive works, though the precise surviving remains at this location reflect the variable preservation conditions common to Roman signal stations in the upland regions of northern England.
