More information : In October 1926 'a few bones and pieces of pottery' were
noticed by P.T.Clay sticking out of the exposed face of the
cliff at Gristhorpe Bay. The site was investigated in 1929 by
F.G.Simpson, who found a quantity of pottery of a similar class
to that found at Carr Naze Signal Station .(TA 18 SW 2). The
site is evidently extensive, lying at the N. end of Gristhorpe
Bay at the beginning of the headland, Yous Nab. The deposit is
conspicuous, following the indentations of the cliff top for
more than 100 yards, and showing several strata. Finds in
possession of P.T.Clay. (1)
