hernesheir commented on the word balk and burral
"The hills and heath lands being ridged appear to have been under cultivation at some former period, at least that partial kind of it called balk and burrel, which consisted of one ridge very much raised by the plough, and a barren space of nearly the same extent, alternately." --Dr. Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary and Supplement, 1841.
