Batter in construction is a receding slope of a wall,〔"Batter v.2. def. 1 and 2. and "Batter n.2". ''Oxford English Dictionary'' Second Edition on CD-ROM (v. 4.0) © Oxford University Press 2009〕 structure, or earthwork. A wall sloping in the opposite direction is said to ''overhang''.〔Whitney, William Dwight. "Batter 2." ''The Century Dictionary''. New York: Century, 1889. 476-77. Print.〕 The term is used with buildings and non-building structures to identify when a wall is intentionally built with an inward slope. A battered corner is an architectural feature using batters. A batter is sometimes used in foundations, retaining walls, dry stone walls, dams, lighthouses, and fortifications. The ''batter angle'' is typically described as a ratio of the offset and height or a degree angle. ==Gallery== File:Octagonal pavilion and hypostyle hall.jpg|The walls of this octagonal, stone pavilion in India are ''battered''.
