  Inclosure Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Inclosure Acts were a number of United Kingdom Acts of Parliament which inclosed common land in the country.
Inclosure acts for small areas had been passed sporadically since the 12th century but the vast majority of them were passed between 1750 and 1860.
Under this process there were over 5000 individual inclosure acts and 21% of land in England was enclosed, this amounts to nearly 7 million acres (28,000 km²).

 The Planning Inspectorate - Definitive Map Orders: Consistency Guidelines - Inclosure Awards
In assessing inclosure evidence, it should be remembered that the process evolved over several centuries, that different Inclosure Commissioners and surveyors were involved with different levels of expertise, operating in different parts of the country at different times with different local practices and traditions.
Where a local inclosure act imported section 11 of the 1801 Act, any pre-existing roads on the lands being inclosed would be extinguished unless these had been ‘set out’ in the award by the Commissioners.
However, the lack of consistency between different maps and awards with their corresponding Act(s) of Parliament, means that every case must be examined individually in the context of all the local circumstances and the prescribed details of the process, all of which may vary.

The Cavenham Inclosure Act deals with matters which would normally be dealt with as part of the Inclosure process, but also makes provision for the tithe system to be abolished and the vicar compensated.
There is no suggestion in the Inclosure document that there are two routes in the vicinity of A-C. It is reasonable to infer that any apparent discrepancy between the Inclosure Map route and the modern OS map route is due to draughting techniques and the limitations of scale.
The difference between the dotted line B-C and the route shown on the Inclosure Map and represented by the solid line which is almost parallel to B-C on Map 2 is not apparent to the naked eye.

 OSCN Found Document:Garst v. Love
The use of the inclosure, the use of the government land for grazing, and the keeping of the cattle in that pasture, were the component parts of the consideration; and each and every one was illegal, because the primary one--the maintenance of the inclosure, and the consequent "unlawful occupancy of the public lands"--was unlawful.
Webb, 20 Ohio St. 431, was a suit upon a promissory note, given in settlement of an account, part of the items of which were for intoxicating liquors, sold by the payee of the note to the maker, to be drunk upon the premises where sold, in violation of the statute.
While maintaining it, as the pleadings allege they were doing, they were engaged in the keeping and pasturing of cattle in a manner prohibited by law; and, so long as they are thus engaged, they can recover no compensation for their labors.
