Spanish term or phrase: ligajo
I am translating a document regarding a finca in Tarragona.

I am struggling with the following:

Lindante toda la finca en su conjunto:
Norte, tierras de Sr XXXX, mediante un ligajo; Sur, Este y Oeste, con las de los consortes Sr XXXX y Sra XXXX.

The only reference I can find to 'ligajo' is 'Un ligallo (o su castellanización, ligajo) es un término aragonés para una agrupación local de pastores but not sure on a suitable translation in this context?

Thank you

livestock track
Explanation:
This must be a Castilianisation of lligallo, which is a local word in Tortosa (Tarragona) for what is called a camí ramader or carrerada in standard Catalan and a vía pecuaria or cañada in Spanish.

"LLIGALLO m.
Camí ramader; faixa de terreny comunal que serveix per a passar-hi els ramats de bestiar que de la part baixa de l'Ebre van a pasturar a la muntanya (Tortosa).
Fon.: ʎiɣáʎo (Tortosa)."

So I think "mediante un ligajo" means "con un ligajo en medio": there's a livestock trail between the northern boundary of the estate and Sr XXXX's property.

"Ligajo" does, or did, have other meanings. There are several references to a "ligajo de abejas" in this area, which seems to have been a beekeepers' association.
