Full Description
Area TF25713312 - Salterns.{1}{3}
A small area of water filled salt pans; the sharpness of the cuttings suggest a post medieval date. Spoil mounds are adjacent. No finds were made at the time of investigation. Published survey (25 inch) correct.{1}
Saltern sites-Bicker Haven. Small area of water filled pits which are probably post medieval with adjacent spoil mounds. No evidence that these pits are salterns.{2}
Post medieval pottery from the 15th to 16th century has been found on some of the mounds. However, there is no reason to associate these finds with the industry, particularly as the fenland economy was in decline from the 14th century onwards. {4}
