The first Roman Signal Station was discovered in Filey, situated at Filey Brigg on the north side of the bay in 1857 after a cliff fall. A small excavation of the site took place.
Then in 1993/94 due to increasing erosion the Filey Station was re-excavated by York Archaeological Trust, supported by Scarborough Council. Although two-thirds of the site has eroded the remains are still visable.
An inscription from near the signal station on the beach describing a tragedy on the Brigg, near the site of the roman signal station can be found at theFiley Museum.
