Units explained
Joch
A joch was a historical Austrian and Hungarian unit of area equal to approximately 5754.6 m² (about 1.42 acres).
The Austrian joch was standardized at 1600 square Klafter (an Austrian unit of length). Used across the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Jochs appear in historical Austrian, Hungarian, Czech, and other Central European land records. Abolished in favor of metric units during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Austrian/Hungarian imperial origin; replaced by metric units.
Oxgang
An oxgang was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 60,703 m² (about 15 acres or 1/8 of a carucate).
Defined as the area one ox could plow in a year, equal to 1/8 of a carucate (which used 8 oxen).
Oxgangs appear in Domesday Book and other medieval English records. Obsolete by the late medieval period as land measurement moved to fixed surveyed units.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.
