1 "Warect" land is fallow land,—inde,
warectare, 'to fallow.' The
term Wareland, Warland, frequently occurs in early records. It is
not
easy to determine its precise meaning in all instances. It
generally signifies
land left fallow for a certain number of years, in order to
recover itself;
but there are instances in which it might perhaps be inferred that
the land
had never been taken into cultivation.
2 i.e. Dene. Which of the manors of Dene (for there were
several in
the county), it would be difficult to decide.
