WHAT DOES BOVATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Oxgang

An oxgang or bovate is an old land measurement formerly used in Scotland and England. It averaged around 20 English acres, but was based on land fertility and cultivation, and so could be as low as 15. Skene in Celtic Scotland says: "in the eastern district there is a uniform system of land denomination consisting of 'dabhachs', 'ploughgates' and 'oxgangs', each 'dabhach' consisting of four 'ploughgates' and each 'ploughgate' containing eight 'oxgangs'. "As soon as we cross the great chain of mountains separating the eastern from the western waters, we find a different system equally uniform. The 'ploughgates' and 'oxgangs' disappear, and in their place we find 'dabhachs' and 'pennylands'. The portion of land termed a 'dabhach' is here also called a 'tirung' or 'ounceland', and each 'dabhach' contains 20 pennylands." An oxgang is also known as a bovate, from bovata, a medieval Latinisation of the word, derived from the Latin bōs, meaning ox, bullock or cow. Oxen, through the Scottish Gaelic word Damh or Dabh, also provided the root of the land measurement 'Daugh.
