Unit Definition (hide)
The hide is a very old English unit of land area, dating from perhaps the seventh century. The hide was the amount of land that could be cultivated by a single plowman and thus the amount of land necessary to support a family. Depending on local conditions, this could be as little as 60 acres or as much as 180 acres (24-72 hectares). The hide was more or less standardized as 120 acres (48.6 hectares) after the Norman conquest of 1066. The hide continued in use throughout medieval times, but it is now obsolete. The unit was also known as the carucate.

Unit Definition (square rod)
The square rod is a traditional unit of area. One square rod is equal to 272.25 square feet, 30.25 square yards, or 25.2929 square meters.
