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 Stremmata

A stremma (στρέμμα, plural: stremmata) is the standard Greek unit of land area, equal to exactly 1,000 m² (0.1 hectare). It is the unit every Greek and Cypriot uses for fields, olive groves, vineyards, and rural plots - in everyday Greek, no one says '1,000 square meters'; they say 'ένα στρέμμα.' Greece's total agricultural land is measured in millions of stremmata. One stremma equals approximately 0.2471 acres or 10 ares. The word derives from the Greek 'στρέφω' (to turn), historically referring to the area a plough could turn in a given time.
