This name is given to the system of land ownership during the early years of the industrial revolution in which british landowners divided their fields into smaller units and charged rent to farmers or business owners.

The system of land ownership during the early years of the industrial revolution where british landowners divided their fields into smaller units is known as Enclosure

Explanation:

Enclosure occured in England during the early years of the industrial revolution and played a part in migration of people from rural areas to cities that were becoming industrialized.

In the Enclosure system, common lands were merged, and the masses who previously had access to such lands, for activities such as grazing and farming, became restricted. Only the land owners could access such enclosed lands.

Land owners could then divide their lands into smaller portions and charge rent for it.
