A quick definition of soc:

Term: SOC

Definition: SOC is a word used in history to describe a special privilege given to a landowner to hold a tenant's court and have private jurisdiction over a certain area of land. This area is called a soke, soca, or sac. Another related term is faldage, which is a landowner's right to require tenants to graze their sheep in designated temporary folds so that the manure will fertilize the field. This can also refer to a sum of money paid by a sheep-owning tenant to the landowner in lieu of keeping the animals in the landowner's temporary fold.

A more thorough explanation:
