Boundaries
Boundaries are the lines marking the division between two adjacent territories. The boundary may be (a) physical, or (b) national and supported by documentary or other evidence. (a) may consist of walls, fences, hedges or ditches, and the presumption is that the outer line along the top line of the ditch bank furthest from the hedge marks the boundary of the land on which the hedge, if any, is erected, because the owner of the soil would be presumed to throw up the soil on the his own land for the hedge, but this presumption may be rebutted. Simple fences or ditches and walls frequently belong to the owners of both properties in common, see PARTY WALL.Physical boundaries may also be roads or non-tidal streams, see Ad medium fil', or the sea or tidal rives, in which case the high-water mark of medium tides is presumed to be the boundary. Williams Real Property, 23rd Edn., p. 463. (b) Unmarked or imaginary boundaries are generally ascertained by reference to maps or plans, or by descript...
