Folkland \Folk"land`\, n. [AS. folcland.] (O.Eng. Law)
   Land held in villenage, being distributed among the folk, or
   people, at the pleasure of the lord of the manor, and resumed
   at his discretion. Not being held by any assurance in
   writing, it was opposed to bookland or charter land, which
   was held by deed. --Mozley & W.
