Clay lumps: "The use of clay lump in England is traced back to an earlier form, the thinner (but otherwise similar) 'clay bats', which were used to construct the nest-boxes of dovecotes in the late eighteenth century. From 1791 clay bats were used to build cottages in Cambridgeshire. By 1821 the blocks were being made deeper, and were called 'clay lumps'."
