Units explained
Square Rod
A square rod is an imperial unit of area equal to approximately 25.293 m². It is part of the historical English land survey system.
Derived by squaring the rod (16.5 feet or 1/4 chain). The rod, perch, and pole are three names for the same length.
Square rods appear in historical English and American land surveys and legacy property records. The unit is largely obsolete today, surviving mainly in legal descriptions of older land grants.
Standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Square Furlong
A square furlong is an imperial unit of area equal to exactly 40,468.564 m², or 10 acres.
Derived by squaring the furlong (660 feet or 1/8 mile). The furlong itself comes from medieval English 'furrow long', the length of a plowed furrow.
Square furlongs are rarely used today. The unit appears occasionally in historical English farming records and in some horseracing contexts (though usually as length, not area).
Medieval English origin; standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
