You should contact a real estate attorney in your area. You and your predecessors may have acquired prescriptive rights in the property within your fence and/or a portion of the easement may have been extinguished by non-use. If the fence is on what might be considered a boundary line, rights may also have been acquired in the property within the fence line if there was an agreement between the adjoining owners that the fence would constitute the boundary if the location of the true boundary line was uncertain.

You need to spend some money and contact a local real estate attorney. Your facts are confusing and not clear. There are many issues that need to be reviewed and considered before anyone can form an opinion regarding your legal rights.
If you have homeowners' insurance, the first thing you should do is report the matter to your carrier. You may also want to report the matter to the title company that issued your title policy. Either, both, or neither may be implicated. Good luck.
