Carr Naze signal station is a Roman coastal fortification situated on the Yorkshire coast near Filey. The site dates to the late second or third century AD and formed part of the Roman system of coastal defence installations established to monitor and protect against maritime threats along the eastern seaboard of Roman Britain. The station would have functioned as a watchtower and signalling post, contributing to the network of communication points that allowed rapid transmission of information about hostile activity or shipping movements along this strategically important coastline. Archaeological investigation has revealed structural remains consistent with a small fortified installation of the Roman period, though much of the site has been subject to erosion from coastal processes over the intervening centuries.
