Physical boundary
International Land Measurement Standard: Due Diligence for Land and Real Property Surveying, 1st edition, published by the International Land Measurement Standard Coalition in May 2019, defines a physical boundary: A physical feature that can be seen such as a fence, wall or a hedge, which may, coincidentally, also follow the line of a legal boundary. The legal boundary may run within the physical boundary structure, but it might just as easily run along one particular side of the structure or include all or any part of an adjoining roadway or stream. Living boundary structures, such as hedges, can be prone to a certain degree of movement. For example, if a hedge is left untended it might take root where it touches the ground and become very wide, making its original line hard to discern. So even if the legal boundary ran along the hedge, identifying this boundary on the ground may become very difficult.’
