Medieval saltern 800m north east of Monkshill Farm is a salt production site located on Seasalter Level in Kent, one of six medieval salterns in this group. The site represents the exploitation of coastal salt resources during the medieval period, a significant economic activity along the Kent coast. Salterns of this type comprised shallow evaporation beds and associated structures for the collection and processing of salt from seawater or saline spring water. This example, along with its neighbouring salterns on Seasalter Level, forms part of the archaeological evidence for organised medieval salt production in the region.
