"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. .
