SEATON, a small fishing town on the south coast of Devon, between Lyme and Sidmouth. Rifson says "our learned antiquarians would have it to be that Maridunum whereof Antonine spoke, placed between Dunmowaria and Ifca;" for Maridunum in British is the same with Seaton in English, "a town upon a hill by the sea-side." This place is memorable for the Danish princes landing there in the year 937.
