ROOD
An area of land one 'chain' (four rods) wide by one 'furlong' in length. [1/4 Acre]
HIDE
Four to eight oxgangs. A unit of yield, rather than area, it measured the amount of land able to support a single household for agricultural and taxation purposes.
An oxgang was the amount of land tillable by one ox in a ploughing season. This could vary from village to village, but was typically around 15 acres.
