Land measurements
« Reply #2 on: Sunday 05 April 09 15:00 UTC (UK) »
There are several different systems of land measurement in place in Ireland at various times.

Statute acre (or English acre) = 4840 square yards

Cunningham acre = 6250 square yards
A Scottish measurement. Cunningham acres need to be multiplied by 1.29 to convert them to English, statute acres.

Irish acre = 7840 square yards

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre_(Irish)
conversion table: www.convertcenter.com/convertunit.aspx/area/irish_acre/all/56/0/1

This may explain the differences in the acreage of a farm which seems to have changed in size.

Possibly also worth mentioning is what “A.R.P.” means.

It stands for acres, roods & perch.  There are 40 perch to a rood, and 4 roods to an acre.

These subdivisions apply to both Statute (a.k.a. Imperial) and Irish systems of measurements.
