Medieval saltern 800m north east of Monkshill Farm is a salt-making site situated on Seasalter Level in Kent. It forms part of a documented group of six medieval salterns in this locality, indicating the importance of salt production to the local economy during the medieval period. The site represents the physical remains of industrial activity centred on the evaporation and crystallisation of brine, a process essential to medieval food preservation and trade. These salterns on Seasalter Level are characteristic of the salt-working landscape that developed along the Kent coast, where tidal creeks and shallow water conditions provided ideal circumstances for extracting salt from seawater.
