Morning all!
Sorry, I've just picked upon this thread (caught up with the jolly old
Ombudspersons office last week). Are these the features best described
as 'an entrance to an open area of common, characterised by a funnel
shaped arrangement of walls with the open end against the common, and
leading off it to a narrow walled trackway through enclosed land?'. If
so, we also have a local term, a 'shoot', which features in place-names.
One of them, Shute Shelf, also has an 'Outing Batch' close by it,
associated with a shoot, and this seems to be the southern version of
'outgang' (well, at least, the North Somerset one).

Nick,
I asked at least a year ago if this term could be included in the NMR
thesaurus as we have many in the Lakes, however I think I was told that
it was too local a term? I can't remember exactly, someone may be able
to confirm this? I have had to resort to using trackway and write in our
description that it is an outgang.
In the Lakes it is a route/track from a village on to the fell, often
used to move animals on to the upland grazing areas (or common land).
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Eleanor

Hi folks
its Friday, so here goes
2 queries
Anyone define for me what an outgang is - as far as I can work out it
is a route out of a village to communal land (and BTW if anyone knows of
a good online glosary for Local History/medieval terms that would be
good to know - our hard copy one doesn't have this in)
Secondly, what would I index it as in the NMR thesaurus? Perhaps a
candidate term?
cheers
best wishes
