Boyatt Meadow (Boyat Mead) was a detached portion of the Stoneham Estate in Otterbourne, near the River Itchen, comprising 19 acres. The Estate did not hold this land freehold, rather it had certain rights of pasturage: to graze livestock and cut hay at certain times of the year.

The rights were offered for sale at auction - and some were sold - in 1953^[1]; the remainder was sold in 1960^[2].
