About Furlong (fur)
Equal to 220 yards (201.168 meters), the furlong originated as the length of a furrow in a plowed field -- literally a 'furrow long.' Today it survives primarily in horse racing, where track distances are measured in furlongs. A standard horse racing furlong post marks each eighth of a mile around the track.
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.
