Bounded the meadow at one point (5)
I believe the answer is:
leapt
'bounded' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the meadow at one point' is the wordplay.
'the meadow' becomes 'lea' (I've seen this before).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one point' becomes 'pt' (**).
'lea'+'pt'='LEAPT'
(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "Bounded, sprang" , "Took off" , "rose fast" , "gone up dramatically" , "Made spring" .)
