'We don't want to get bogged down in dispute with neighbours over boundaries on our family turf plot'
Briefly

The article discusses a dispute arising over a bog plot inherited from the author’s aunt, highlighting the complexities of land ownership and historical usage. After several years of cutting turf, a neighboring plot owner claims that part of the bank being used is theirs, citing Land Registry maps as evidence. This situation is further complicated by a lack of documented changes to plot boundaries over the years, suggesting a long-standing, possibly informal understanding of land usage among relatives.
This year, the owners of a neighbouring plot started cutting again too. Unfortunately, it's led to a dispute. They now claim that part of the bank I'm cutting is actually theirs, based on Land Registry maps.
As far as I know, the plots have been set out the same way for years, and none of my relatives remembers any changes ever being made.
