Fodder Dike, and Dickon Hill Road, east of Eastville: aerial 2023 (1) On the drained East Fen. Fodder Dike runs horizontally across the bottom, Dickon Hill Road curves around to the left, with Dickon Hills marked to the right of the curve. Any rise in the ground is not perceptible from the contour lines on the map. Re. Fodder dike: in the summer season, when the water had drained off or been evaporated, the surface of large districts was exposed, which speedily bore a strong crop of coarse grass, called "fodder." Every person having a right in this Fen, had the privilege of employing two labourers, and with them would go down into the Fen on the evening before Midsummerday, and lie down until they heard the report of a gun which was fired exactly at twelve o'clock (midnight) ; then each party would arise and set to work. By common agreement, all the “fodder” they could mow a path around became the frontager's own property. After completing one circle, each party hastened to find fresh - ground to encircle in like manner, as long as any remained unclaimed, after which they completed at leisure the mowing of those parts they had surrounded. When the reaping was over, the "fodder" was gathered up, and boated away by the different rows to the fenside, from whence it was carted to their homes.
