 The
East Riding coastal zone has a considerably rich archaeological
resource ranging from Mesolithic habitation sites to Bronze Age
burial mounds. Most of an extensive system of Roman signal stations
on the coast has already been lost due to erosion. The post-medieval
sites include lighthouses, coastguard stations, remains associated
with the fishing industry, and a wealth of military installations,
including major 20th-century defensive works and radar stations.
