Roods

Definition

A rood is an old English unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre, or 1,210 square yards (approximately 1,011.71 square meters).

History

The rood was a common land measurement unit in medieval England and was used in property deeds and agricultural records. It derives from the Old English word 'rōd' meaning a measure of land.

Current use

The rood is now rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical land records, legal documents, and property deeds in parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Ares (a)

Definition

An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters. It represents the area of a square with sides of 10 meters.

History

The are was introduced as part of the metric system in France in 1795. While officially still a recognized unit, it has largely been superseded by the hectare in most practical applications.

Current use

Ares are used primarily in some European countries for measuring small to medium land plots, gardens, and agricultural parcels. In France, Belgium, and Luxembourg, land listings sometimes reference ares.
