Free-board, or freebord
Free-board, or freebord. The precise nature of free-board is not very clear, but it may be described as denoting certain rights enjoyed by the owner of an ancient park over a strip of ground, varying in width indifferent cases, running along the outside of the boundary fence.

Cowel (Law Dict.) has the following: 'Free-board, Francbordus, in some places they claim as a Free-bord, more or less ground beyond or without the fence. In Mon. Angl. 2 par.
