There was, until 1995, a field in the west of Baarle-Nassua commune of
which a third was claimed by Belgium per the "communal minute" and map of
the 1830s/40s. Belgium was granted what appears to have been the northern
third of this field as its 22nd enclave in 1995 when all the enclaves were
formally demarcated. There are good maps in my book, and copies of the
relevant documents.

There is NO land left at Baarle that is disputed (ie claimed by both sides)
or neutral (claimed by no one).
