Perhaps most startling, the 2.5 manses and 57 small vineyards at the estate of Mehring owed annually 15,700 rods and an additional 11,400 rods for fencing.29 The rods could be used as fence poles, for thatching fences, for supporting vines in the monastery’s many vineyards, and for building fish weirs. Iversheim’s manses provided “rods for the vineyard,” Dienheim provided “rods for the fishery,” and the residents of Albisheim had to both provide the rods and then deliver them to the fishery.30
Many of the monastery’s dependents owed annual labor services that included not only delivering the rods to the vineyards and fisheries, but also using them to stake grapevines and, frequently, to fence in demesne lands. Caesarius explained that the fencing units were “thirty feet long” and added that the workers “must build the fence where they are ordered.”31 In Remich residents were obligated to provide 50 rods annually, and to build 180 feet of fencing “by the fishery” and 150 feet around the demesne.32 Fencing could either be done by thatching or wattling (using coppicing products) between fence posts (far more common) or by using some of the many boards that the properties also owed. Bastogne’s residents were instructed to use fence posts and planking, using five planks for every section of fence.33
