1) What does it say on your deeds? This should be a good

The only boundary specifically referenced in the deeds is on the
opposite side of the garden which adjoins agricultural land and
requires me (and the previous owner) to erect and maintain a sheep
and
cattle-proof post and rail fence. I can't find any reference to the
other side...although I recall reading somewhere that most
properties
only own the fence on one side...

Your solicitor should have checked this in his pre-contract
enquiries, I'd have thought. That would mean it must be in writing
somewhere.
