An archaic or dialectal term for additional pasture or moorland attached to a cottage dwelling.
Combination of 'cot' (cottage) and 'more' (archaic/dialect for moor or additional land), reflecting medieval land tenure systems.
This word captures a vanished way of life—medieval peasants' rights to specific pieces of shared moorland were as carefully documented as modern property deeds, binding families to particular cottage homesteads.
