Thank you all for your help! Graeme and Nicholas were on the same track I think, and Micha - I knew this would likely be very simple (and already a tool) in PostGIS, but it's not my go-to approach, so I'm actually going to try this out bc it will solve my problem AND give me a bit more experience

Hi, This could work but there may be a more efficient way. Here are my ideas. 1) Split vector layer using the ID for each plot/cluster.2) Create a polygone from the file extent. (use the processing toolbox), merge all the polygone into 1 file.3) Find the centroid of this shape and the maximum
