In Anglo-Saxon England the term reeve was originally used for that of an administrative official who oversaw a particular area, be it a town, a port, a shire (shire reeve being the origin of the word sheriff) or a village. Later, after the conquest, the term was used more narrowly. It referred to an official in a manor village, chosen from among the villagers, typically by the villagers, who was responsible for overseeing the labor owed to the lord by the tenants. The reeve would co-ordinate and direct the work of of these obligations, and report to the steward, or the lord if there was actually a lord in residence.

I believe you are asking about reeves, who were serfs elected or appointed to supervise on the manors. One of the reeve's jobs was to determine field usage. There is a link below to an article on reeves.

A Reeve was a serf who was elected by the other serfs to supervise the village. He lived and worked in the village just as any other serf did. He proably did a bit better than the average serf due to the privledges of his position, but the fact that he was elected annyually by the villagers probably limited his corruption somewhat.

The term Reeve had two meanings in medieval England. During the Anglo-Saxon period the term refereed to an appointed official. They might supervise a town, a port, the holding of a noble, or a particular shire. The term shire-reeve is the origin of the modern work sheriff. After the normal conquest the usage of the term changed. A reeve was still an official, but a much more minor one. A reeve was responsible for overseeing a lord's lands on a manor, organizing and directing the labor of the serfs, and also in some cases for collection of fees and rents and for duties such as selling the lord's farm produce. In some cases reeves were appointed by the lord, but there were also traditions where the reeve was elected by the villagers of the manor.

The medieval reeve was a rather unimportant official who acted as a kind of foreman, sometimes appointed by the lord of the manor, sometimes elected by the peasants from among their own number. In the document "Duties of a Reeve" it is clear that every aspect of work on the manor was checked and supervised in some way by the reeve, who also had control of certain equipment and tools; these include wood-cutting and woodworking tools, ploughs and their spare parts, harvesting, weeding and digging tools, weaving tools, weighing and measuring kit, spinning and carding tools, shearing and sharpening tools. The wagons and carts, harrow, threshing tools, cooking equipment, hives and honey bins, ale barrels and many more items are accounted for and distributed by the reeve. At harvest time he must be diligent in keeping a careful account of the quantity of sheaves gathered, since the peasants involved were entitled to a sheaf or two depending on the total number gathered in; the reeve also checked the size of the sheaves to ensure that no fraud was perpetrated.
