The enclosure system in late 17th and early 18th century England involved the legal process of consolidating small landholdings into larger farms, which were then fenced off or "enclosed." This transformation often displaced peasant farmers and commoners who relied on shared land for grazing and agriculture, leading to significant social and economic changes. Enclosure facilitated increased agricultural productivity and the rise of commercial farming but also contributed to rural poverty and urban migration as displaced populations sought work in cities. Overall, the enclosure movement played a crucial role in the transition to modern agriculture and the Industrial Revolution.

Describe the process of enclosure and some of its effects?
Enclosure or inclosure is the process which was used in order to end some traditional rights, such as mowing meadows for hay, or grazing livestock on land which is owned by another person, or a group of people. In England and Wales the term is also used for the process that ended the ancient system of arable farming in open fields. Under enclosure, such land is fenced (enclosed) and deeded or entitled to one or more owners. By the 19th century, unenclosed commons had become largely restricted to rough pasture in mountainous areas and in relatively small parts of the lowlands.
