What is recorded here
Baldongan Church still stands, but the circular enclosure nearby has vanished into low soil and memory. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a forgotten ritual place. The land has kept its shape long enough for satellites to read it, yet human hands have smoothed the evidence away.
A circular enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). On relatively low land NNW of Baldongan Church (DU005-037001-). No visible remains.
