    A cottier is a term used in Ireland to refer to a rural laborer or tenant farmer who rents and cultivates a small plot of land. The cottier usually paid their rent by working for the landlord. The type and quality of the land could vary, but it was typically poor quality, and the cottier would often live in a small cottage, hence the name. This system was prevalent in Ireland during the 19th century but has largely ceased to exist today.
