Barn
A barn is a unit of area used primarily in agriculture to measure land, especially for farming purposes.
History/Origin
The barn originated as a unit of measure in the 19th century, based on the amount of land that could be covered by a barn, roughly equivalent to 40 square rods or about 40 acres, and was used in land surveying and farming contexts.
Current Use
Today, the barn is largely obsolete as a formal measurement unit but is still used colloquially in agriculture to refer to land area, especially in the United States, often informally approximating 40 acres.
Square Perch
A square perch is a unit of area measurement equal to the area of a square with one perch (16.5 feet) on each side.
History/Origin
The square perch, also known as a square rod or perche, originated in the British Imperial system and was traditionally used in land measurement, especially in the UK and former British colonies.
Current Use
Today, the square perch is largely obsolete and rarely used, having been replaced by metric units such as square meters. It may still be encountered in historical land records or in regions where traditional units persist.
