 The elderly in particular have little else to do then stew about silly little things.

Yes, I used to worry about global warming and famine, but now I've had my three score and ten I just put on my slippers, stick Andy Williams on the radiogram and read my Hello mag. It's called Mindlessness; with a little application anyone over 60 can do it. I can't recommend going hardcore to you, as you sound quite young, but you could probably start by taking the Daily Express and work up to Des O'Connor via Neil Diamond, or something like that.

Should also mention we're looking to move house in the next 6 months so would like to avoid a dispute. 

You’ve already started a dispute so it’s irrelevant now

No, its a resolved practical issue if the fence has caused a minor inconvenience to the neighbour and been removed at their request. The fact that the neighbour got a bit shirty over it won't be something they'll be proud of once its gone.

Of course, if the matter has gone as far as a solicitor's letter, that's a different thing.

Maybe put some sunken bricks/pavers (same height as your gravel) to 'mark' the borders? 

That would be my preferred option in your circumstances.

You'll have made it very plain the division between "hers" and "ours" and it's done in a tasteful way.

I've got "that" sort of neighbour that will literally squabble about inches and, when I get things set up properly at the boundary line at some point I can afford it - I'm going to have precisely those sort of pavers running right up to it. So it's clear that "mine is mine" and they wouldn't be able to squabble about a physical obstacle (or knock it for six accidentally on purpose). There certainly are neighbours that go in for a little light vandalism.
