Enclosure

n. confinement, closure of area; additional document or letter placed within another

In English economic history, enclosure was the name given to the process by which land which had previously been considered commons -- with rights of access and use by all, was fenced (enclosed) and deeded or entitled to a single private owner, who was to enjoy the possession and fruits of the land at the exclusion of all others. This conversion from public to private lands was accompanied by force, resistance, and bloodshed.
