Defences at Balderton are now mostly destroyed. The defences surrounded the village, a long narrow one, forming an almost rectangular enclosure approx 1000yds by 400yds. As shown by Clampe, the N side was of bastion trace and the S had a series of redans; the E side was direct and unflanked, and on the W was a large demi-bastion flanking the lane leading W. (1)
There are no surface remains of Balderton defences. The postulated line and remains as outlined in (1) are now under modern development. (2)
