The East Riding coastal zone has a considerably rich archaeological resource - evidence of its past inhabitants and their activities, which can be broadly divided into two main categories: (a) The marine and maritime heritage which lies actually underwater or within the intertidal zone, and (b) Archaeological sites and monuments which once stood some distance inland, but now, as a result of constant erosion, lie on the edge of the coast and are clearly at risk of being lost within the next few years or decades (ICZM, 2002).
