Description
Batts Hall or Bats Hall, marked on the 1st edition OS map <3>.
The hall was probably a timber framed superstructure founded upon a brick dwarf wall with a continuous brick plinth. The plinth and wall still remain. This is a typical structure for Essex in the 16th century, (personal communication D. Stenning Essex County Council), and would fit the location well. The earlier maps show two structures at this location but only an overgrown square patch with some brick now remains. <1> Slide <2>
Site Assessment = Important site located at the point of a road and near the dock area. Documentary research is needed along with a survey of the building area and excavation if necessary. Building remains are being taken apart and monitoring is needed.
