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 (farthingdale)
The Farthingdale is an older name for the rood, a unit of land area equal to 1/4 acre (0.1012 hectare). "Farthingdale," like "fardel," means a fourth part.
