"An allotment is traditionally measured in rods (perches or poles), an old measurement dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. 10 poles is the accepted size of an allotment, the equivalent of 250 square metres or about the size of a doubles tennis court".

If you still work in old money, the SCAA say -".An allotment plot is normally 10 poles. 10 poles are 302.5 square yards.
One pole is an area 5.5 yards’ x 5.5 yards. This gives 160 poles to one acre, which is 16 plots of ten poles each to the acre"

Any the wiser? Thought not. Big Grin.
The 10 rod,perches or poles was what the government in WW2 deemed to be a big enough space to feed a family with 2.4 children if intensively managed! Big Grin
