There are several instances locally where a footpath across a field is
crossed by an electric fence.
The farmer usually fits a length of rubber hosepipe over the wire so
that walkers can safely step over the fence. Sometimes with the aid of a
couple of concrete blocks.
How to map? Technically it is probably a form of stile. But the problem
is that the location isn't fixed. Electric fences are moved about
according to which area of the field the livestock are currently
grazing. In a large field the position could change significantly.
But walkers with restricted mobility do need to know that there is one
somewhere in the field. The position might be important if there is an
alternative gate or other access which could be used.
