A rood is a traditional British area unit equal to one quarter of an acre or about 1,011.7 square meters, historically used in land measurement.

Why convert roods to square hectometers?

Converting to square hectometers, an SI-derived unit, helps integrate historical land data with modern measurement systems for accurate assessment and planning.

Is the rood unit still in common use?

No, the rood is primarily historical and rarely used today except for interpreting legacy land records and documents.
