The Commonwood allotments was an area of woodland for villages to graze livestock and collect firewood from the early part of the 14th century onwards. In 1851 Commonwood was enclosed and divided into 65 allotments of approx. 2.7 acres. http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/leisure_tourism/prow/news_articles/commonwood_footpath.htm My thanks to Gerald England for this information and link.
