&gt;My reply to the original post has been delayed by the email gremlins. There<br/>
&gt;is only one cross, in the middle of a corn field.<br/>
&gt;There are many jigs in the border, like the &#39;staircase&#39; effect here in the<br/>
&gt;photo, but certainly no other crosses. I have the maps and treaty to prove<br/>
&gt;it! I have counted up all the turning points in total, and the total per<br/>
&gt;enclave. There are 959 different turning points at Baarle, but a sum of the<br/>
&gt;turning points of all 30 enclaves gives 960, showing that there is only one<br/>
&gt;point shared between two enclaves, the cross, point 5109, between H1 and H2.<br/>
&gt;It sits at Belgian coordinates 189723.02, 236426.35 . These figures are<br/>
&gt;distances in metres on the national grid form the origin of the grid. As<br/>
&gt;there are 2 decimal places, the point is defined to the nearest centimetre.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;In the Dutch grid, the point is 123902.44, 383096.99<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;The smallest gap either between enclaves or of chickennecks within them is a<br/>
&gt;mere 2.9m chickenneck within enclave H16. The narrowest between enclaves is<br/>
&gt;a 7.09m between H1 and H4.<br/>

&gt;&gt;succulent morsels indeed  eef<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;that map & pic make me want to press on for an extra boundary cross in<br/>
&gt;&gt;baarle<br/>
&gt;&gt;because i once saw a photo on the internet very much like this one of yours<br/>
&gt;&gt;but showing a clear cobblestone cross that was also said to be there in the<br/>
&gt;&gt;caption<br/>
&gt;&gt;& your map image too seems to hold out the hope of there being just such a<br/>
&gt;&gt;one at lower right<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;i realize i may be way off here & that my notion doesnt harmonize well with<br/>
&gt;&gt;brendans eye witness testimony that there is indeed only a single baarle<br/>
&gt;&gt;cross<br/>
&gt;&gt;& that that one is in an agricultural setting rather than a street scene<br/>
&gt;&gt;but i cant get it out of my mind that i saw it<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;can you or anyone else sort this out </span></blockquote></div>
