Overland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the feudal system, parcels that were not permanently connected to a specific farm were referred to as overland .

For example, they were on the edge of the village corridor, which indicates that they were created later, either through clearing or abandonment of a homestead. A farmer could acquire these land in addition to his house land.
