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 (kappland) The kappland is a traditional unit of land area in Sweden. The kappland is equal to 1/32 tunnland or 1750 square Stockholm feet (kvadratfot); this is equivalent to 154.26 square meters or about 184.50 square yards.
