Summary. Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken at Upminster Tithe Barn, Hall Lane, Upminster during the groundworks for a new lightning protection system. Upminster Tithe Barn is a scheduled monument (NHLE 1001991) and 15th-century timber-framed barn, originally associated with the neighbouring Grade II* listed Upminster Hall (NHLE 1079889). Monitoring identified three features, a domed brick soakaway, the remains of a brick floor surface and a modern brick wall. A demolition layer was also identified.
