Full Description
PRN 23998
Salterns are known in this area from 13th century documentary references. The site of this saltern was identified from geological maps. Its position on the east side of the 13th century sea bank suggests that it pre-dates it and is therefore of 13th century or earlier date. Traces of a saltern mound were seen on the bank of the Blue Gowt Drain during a site visit to the pumping station. {1}
