Description
Antler Meadow would be ideally suited to somebody looking for a mixture of open land and a small corner of standing woodland. The copse in the south east corner provides shelter, a spot to camp and a source of seeds for the natural regeneration of the open land.
The meadow itself has been grazed and cut for silage in recent years but is ideally suited to tree planting and woodland creation, either for carbon offsetting or private amenity purposes. There are tree planting grants which could be applied for by those interested in creating new woodland. The Forestry Commission is particularly interested in seeing new trees planted on land which abuts existing woodland, which is very much the case for Antler Meadow, with large blocks of existing woodland nearby. This approach speeds up the establishment of a new woodland ecosystem.
The meadow is accessed via an excellent quality stoned access track from the north east corner, which enables year round vehicular access. The land is broadly square shaped, with the access track forming the eastern and southern boundaries and field stakes demarcating the western and northern edges. Boundary posts are marked with bright purple paint. The best views can be enjoyed looking west and north, with the elevated position of the meadow offering fantastic vistas throughout the seasons.
Antler Meadow is an ideal parcel for those seeking a mix of open land and a small woodland area, perfect for tree planting, carbon offsetting, or private woodland creation. With excellent access, scenic views, and opportunities for grants, the meadow's proximity to existing woodlands enhances its potential for ecosystem regeneration and new woodland establishment.

Local area and history
The land is located a short distance from the ancient scheduled monument, Wick Ball Camp, which is an Iron Age hillfort with a single rampart on its northern and western sides. The name ‘Wick’ typically indicates a vicus, which is a Latin term for a settlement outside the walls of a Roman fort. The term ‘ball’ often signifies a boundary and is a shortened form of ‘bailiwick’. Another related expression is ‘beyond the pail’, meaning outside the pail or bail (in this case, ‘ball’).
The nearest village, Teffont Magna, enjoys a spring fed stream which winds its way through the village, which rises from the ground just north of the village and is kown as ‘The Teff’ or 'Teffont Brook'. Teffont Church was was a chapel-of-ease of the neighbouring village of Dinton until 1922.
