Hay and pasture

The village meadows lie by the streams and water past the great fields, two or more to a village.

Meadow	What it is
Hay meadow (six in ten)	Open, mown in early summer and the hay piled in haycocks
Pasture	Inside a hedge or wall and grazed short all year

Pasture also covers each village’s commons, with pollards standing over it. See Harvest.
