How the Register works
Each unit number in the register is divided in three sections showing details of:
Land
This includes a description of the land, who registered it and when the registration became finally registered. There are also related plans which show the boundaries of the land.Rights
This includes a description of the rights of common (i.e. the right to graze 100 sheep), over which area of the common they are exercisable, the name of the person (the 'commoner') who holds those rights, and whether the rights arise by virtue of a separate land ownership by the commoner (i.e. they 'attach' to land).Ownership
This includes details of owners of common land. However, entries in this section of the registers are not held to be conclusive.Page updated: 15 Jun 2010
