Stonar is a site of a medieval port located in Kent, England, positioned on the Isle of Thanet near Sandwich. The settlement flourished during the medieval period as an important trading centre and harbour facility, serving as a significant point of commerce for the region. Archaeological evidence indicates occupation and port activity from at least the Saxon period through the medieval centuries, with the site yielding finds that demonstrate its role in long-distance trade networks. The physical remains, now largely buried and eroded by coastal processes and changing water levels, represent the archaeological record of a once-active maritime settlement whose economic importance has been substantially diminished by landscape change and the silting of its harbour.
