A large area of saltings are labelled at the mouth of the River Otter on the Second Edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey map. It is possible that this indicates evidence for coastal salt production, although it is perhaps more likely that the term refers to an area of estuarine or coastal land that is frequently covered by the tide.
