More information : (TA 0516 8906) Earthwork remains of a coastguard station, part of the Scarborough Castle complex.
In October-November 1998, the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England carried out an analytical field survey of Scarborough Castle (Parent Record TA 08 NW 35; Event Record 1205090).
The site of the coastguard station is defined by a series of low banks up to 0.2m high. A linear scarp up to 0.1m high marks the line of part of an enclosing fence and a 0.2m deep depression is the site of an air raid shelter. The station was built in the 1920s and demolished in 1948. For further details, see the detailed report held in the NMR archive, which includes versions of the 1:1000 scale plan and extracts from historic maps. The remainder of the archive material is also available from the NMR. (1 and 2)
