Medieval saltern 800m north of Monkshill Farm is a salt production site located on Seasalter Level in Kent, part of a wider group of six saltern monuments in the area. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the industrial exploitation of coastal saltwater resources, which was a significant economic activity in southeast England. Salterns of this type typically comprised shallow evaporation ponds and associated structures for the extraction and crystallisation of salt from seawater or brackish water. The survival of these earthwork features on Seasalter Level documents the medieval saltmaking industry that served both local consumption and commercial trade networks across southern England.
