Rundale The rundale system (apparently from "to run" and "dale", valley, originally something separated off, cf. deal) was a form of occupation of land in Ireland, somewhat resembling the English common field system. The land is divided into discontinuous plots, and cultivated and occupied by a number of tenants to whom it is leased jointly. The system was common in Ireland, especially in the western counties. In Scotland, where the system also existed, it was termed "run rig" (from "run", and "rig" or ridge).
