Wade's Stone To quote from English Heritage's website: "A Bronze Age standing stone, originally one of two, the other no longer survives. It is roughly cut into rectangular shape which tapers slightly towards the top and leans a little to the north west. It is 1.5 metres high and 0.7 by 0.5 metres in section. On the south face the letters JS and ES have been inscribed. The monument is scheduled. There is another possible "Wades Stone" at NZ 81 SW 2." I believe this latter reference means NZ830130.

Goldsborough Roman Signal Station Taken looking north west from the site of the Goldsborough Roman Signal Station. This was one of a series of stations built along the coast to provide early warning of Scottish or Saxon invaders. It is supposed that the next signal station would have been on the Boultby cliffs (far left) but it is supposed that any remains have been destroyed by the alum workings.
