British unit of area used in surveyor's measurements. This is the English statute acre, and the US statute acre is the same. The acre was first defined in England in the reign of Edward I and is thought to be the area which a yoke of oxen could plow in a day. The acre was limited to its present definite quantity by statutes of Edward I, Edward III, and Henry VIII.
