About Chain (ch)

The surveyor's chain, devised by Edmund Gunter in 1620, measures exactly 66 feet (20.1168 meters) and consists of 100 links. Ten chains make a furlong, and an acre is defined as one chain by one furlong. The chain was the standard land survey tool across the British Empire and shaped property boundaries still in use today.

About Rod (rd)

Also known as a perch or pole, the rod equals 16.5 feet (5.0292 meters) and was historically the standard length of an ox goad. It served as the primary unit of land measurement in England before the metric system, and many old property deeds and legal descriptions still reference distances in rods.
