A spokesperson for the pub said: “The name of the pub links to several Roman ‘finds’ that have been unearthed in and around Filey.

"In 1924, fragments of Roman pottery were discovered near what is now the main entrance of Primrose Valley Holiday Park. In 1857, five large stone blocks were uncovered on the Filey Sea Front.

"The five stones supported a 4th-century Roman signal station, 30 metres high and 14 metres square, with a beacon on top that was lit when invading ships were spotted. The five carved stones are on display in the sea-front gardens.”
