Triocha-ced is the proper name, often rendered Cantred, but erroneously. The Irish Triocha-ced was supposed to be a collection of thirty Baille-biataghs, or hundreds, each supposed to contain four hundred and eighty Irish acres, thus constituting a Barony of nominally 14,400 Irish acres (A.F.M., 1225, Note S). The Cantred—the hundred trefs or villages—belonged properly to Wales, and was supposed to contain 25,600 Welsh acres, answering rather to the Continental Canton. The Irish and Welsh Cantred, therefore, must not be considered identical. For Thanes, V. Appendix N.
