Medieval saltern 700m NNE of Monkshill Farm is a salt-working site located on Seasalter Level in Kent, part of a larger group of six salterns in this locality. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the exploitation of salt resources from the coastal marshland environment characteristic of the Kent coast. Medieval salterns were typically shallow pools or shallow basins constructed to allow seawater to evaporate, leaving salt deposits that could be harvested. This example forms part of the archaeological evidence for salt production on Seasalter Level, an area with a long history of industrial salt extraction.
