Settlement comprising small, closely packed farms
Toft
In England and Scotland, a toft village is a settlement comprising small and relatively closely packed farms (tofts) with the surrounding land owned and farmed by those who live in the village's buildings.
Strips of land behind the tofts are called crofts, by analogy with Croft (land), with the resulting landscape pattern being labelled toft and croft.
