Close

Close, a field or piece of land parted off from other fields or common land by banks, hedges, etc. Every entry upon another's land (unless by the owner's leave, or in some very particular cases) is an injury or wrong, for which an action of trespass will lie to recover such damages as a jury may think proper to assess, and this injury is called trespass quare clausum fregit, or trespass for breaking a man's close.
