The site dates to the medieval period and represents the exploitation of coastal salt resources through the evaporation of seawater, a significant economic activity in medieval England. The saltern's physical remains typically consist of earthwork features associated with the infrastructure of salt manufacture, including the degraded traces of ponds and working areas. This group of salterns on Seasalter Level demonstrates the intensive and organised nature of salt production in this locality during the medieval period.
