curtilage

In the most crowded parishes the houses had no sufficient curtilage, standing as they did in alleys and courts.

They had been seen prowling about the curtilage of the ale-house the night before.

Lincoln laid off his curtilage on a gentle hillock having a slope on every side.

He shall also have the curtilage with the garden adjoining the hall on the north side enclosed as it is with hedges and ditches.

The house-lot or family curtilage at first devolved strictly within the limits of the family.
