Enclosure in Baldongan

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Baldongan enclosure is an incomplete circular ditch, about 34m across, hidden under a working field 175m from the church. Crop stress still traces three sides and a possible small round feature near the southwest, suggesting people shaped that ground long before the church gave the area its name. It may have marked a household, a ritual place or a boundary now reduced to a faint line in the soil.
Located c. 175m NNW of Baldongan Church (DU005-037001-), positive cropmarks in a large arable field indicate the subsurface remains of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure clearly visible on the N, S and W. The enclosure (ext. dims c. 33.7m N-S) is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.5m). There is s possible circular feature visible close to the SW ‘corner’ of the enclosure. This cropmark is visible on Google Earth imagery of the 24 June 2018, viewed on 8 November 2019. Compiled by: Tom Condit Uploaded on: 16 October 2020
