About Roods
A rood (ro) is a traditional English unit of land area equal to one quarter of an acre, or 40 square rods, approximately 1,011.71 m². Originating in medieval England, the rood was used alongside the acre and the perch for describing land ownership. The name shares its root with 'rod,' the linear unit used to measure it. While largely obsolete in modern use, roods still appear in old English legal documents, historical land surveys, and certain rural property records in England and Wales.
About Dunam
A dunam (also dönüm or donum) is a unit of land area equal to exactly 1,000 m², used across Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and former Ottoman Empire territories. One dunam equals one stremma and one decare. The modern metric dunam of 1,000 m² was standardised during the British Mandate period; older Ottoman dunams varied by region (approximately 919-1,600 m²). It remains the primary land measurement unit for agricultural and property records throughout the Middle East, with properties routinely listed in dunams in Israeli and Palestinian real estate.
