Descrizione:

An open field term: literally ‘a dole or share in front’. The word has first been noted in undated thirteenth-century charters: <i>unam fordal iacet super le Crosclif</i>, Lepton (WBD/4/5); <i>le fordolesfeld</i>, Flockton (YRS69/55). It could evidently be arable or grassland: a grant in Cowick referred in 1316 to ‘meadow lying in <i>le Fordol</i>’ which was located between other holdings (YRS120/51), and in 1343 ‘one selion lay in <i>le Fordoles</i>’ in Flockton, between other men’s lands (YRS69/58). In a dispute about tithes in Ferrybridge in 1422 the boundary descended to ‘the water of <i>Ayre</i> up to the point of <i>Foredales</i>’ (YRS156/93). It seems likely to be a regional variant of foreland, and both words gave rise to minor place-names.
