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 (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.
