Units explained
Carucate
A carucate was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 485,623 m² (about 120 acres or 48.6 hectares).
Originated in early medieval England as the area one team of eight oxen could plow in a year. The size varied considerably by soil type and region.
Carucates appear in the Domesday Book and other medieval English land surveys. The unit was used for taxation assessment but was inherently variable due to its agricultural-output basis.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
Hectares are the standard unit for agricultural land measurement worldwide except in the US (which uses acres). 1 hectare equals 2.47105 acres. In India, hectares are used in modern agricultural census and land records alongside traditional regional units.
Adopted in France in 1795; standardized internationally through the SI system.
