Reading edition
For convenience of reference the following table is appended, but it must be remembered that these are rather average results than scientifically exact formulæ. See Vinogradoff, Villainage in England, p. 239, for varying sizes of Hides, Virgates and Bovates.
1 Bovate or Ox-gang = 15 acres. 2 Bovates = 1 Virgate or Yard-land = 30 acres. 8 Bovates or 4 Virgates = 1 Carucate or Hide = 120 acres.
