1Opinion of the CourtSilver, J.
[¶ 1] This case involves a dispute over fee ownership of less than one acre of land on a stream in Exeter and the location of a deeded right-of-way on property owned by Lewis E. Matteson and Betty J. Matteson. Following a bench trial in the Superior Court (Penobscot County, Murphy, J.), the Mattesons appealed the decision regarding the right-of-way, and Malcolm Batchelder cross-appealed the decision regarding fee ownership of the disputed lot. We affirm the court’s judgment as to the fee ownership issue, but we vacate the judgment regarding the right-of-way and remand for further proceedings.
