| Convert from oxgang to acre |
Unit Definition (oxgang) The oxgang is an old English unit of land area equal to 1/8 hide or roughly 15 acres (6 hectares). The hide was considered the area a farmer could plow with a team of 8 oxen, so an oxgang was the area he could plow with a single ox. The unit was also called the bovate, from the Latin word bos for an ox or cow. Unit Definition (acre) The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and US customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre.
