It sounds very much like a type of closeboard fence that is being repaired. X4 posts and X2 caps for the tops and the plancks lain at the bottom therefore, might well be gravel boards. Michael Tebbutt.

This has been such a helpful discussion and I am very grateful. Thank you Geoff, John, Ken and Michael and I think it may well be a fence of some type. I will also check the tithe apportionments for a field name. A great list - thanks to everyone, Glynis ----- Original Message ----- It sounds very much like a type of closeboard fence that is being repaired.
