Intake (land)

Intake (land)

An intake is a parcel of land, of the order of a dozen hectares, which has been "taken in" from a moor and brought under cultivation. The term is used almost exclusively in the north of England applying to land on the fringes of the Pennines and other moors. The creation of intakes went on from medieval times up to the 19th century.

Several settlements and farms are called intake, for example Intake Farm at gbmapping|SE013367 on Haworth Moor.
