Summary
Undated saltern site at Ingoldmells.
Type and Period (1)
- SALT WORKS (Undated)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A scatter of saltern material, exposed in beach erosion in August (?) 1980. Possibly a site already noted by Professor Swinnerton. {1}
The site was explored further in September 1980, and a number of troughs were revealed. The troughs were not in or on a hearth and there was no evidence of burnt matter, but some still had supports adhering to them. These troughs were almost certainly dumped there after use; the troughs were very fragile and could not be lifted whole. {2}{3}
