Signal station is a Roman fortified installation located in Devon, England. The site dates to the later Roman period and formed part of the defensive network established along the south-western coast of Britain. Such signal stations served a critical function in coastal surveillance and military communication, allowing rapid transmission of warning signals regarding hostile maritime activity or barbarian incursion. The physical remains reflect the modest but purposeful construction typical of these auxiliary fortifications, positioned strategically to command approaches and coordinate with other defensive positions across the region.
