For a definition of "wapentake", see the article entitled Hundred (county division) in Wikipedia.

Wapentakes, the Old Norse form of the Anglo-Saxon "hundred", are dealt with in Section 1.4, but Sections 1.1 (Hundred courts) and 1.2 (Administrative functions) deal with the concept and purposes of wapentakes along with those of "hundreds" used in English counties further south.

Osgoldcross (#13 on the map) was a wapentake of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. It covers the area from Pontefract eastward towards Goole. The original meeting place of the wapentake was the area which later became Pontefract Market Place.
