The practice of enclosure refers to the time in England when legal fencing was put around lands held by landowners to demarcate the area personal land owned.
Explanation:
This was done to limit the access of commoners to personally owned lands. Also, converting the lands to farms and demarcating it helped the landowners to employ farmers. They enjoyed the fruit of the peasants labor by earning profits from only enclosing personal estate lands and putting them to arable use by renting out pieces of land to peasants and farmers.
