The iuga here described were clearly rectangular areas. From 

 "iugum Fissher" to ''iugum Gilnoth" they formed a series running 

 from north to south, bounded on the east by the parish of Ren- 

 ham and on the west by Twidolestrete. The next four consti- 

 tuted a similar series lying to the west of Twidolestrete. The 

 iugum here and elsewhere in the survey usually contained about 

 24 acres, although this number might drop to 5 or rise to 132. 

 Sometimes a double iugum occurred, as in the case of " duo iuga 

 Coole," and the fourth part of a iugum might appear as a 

 " ferthing." As to the tenants, the distribution and areas of 

 the parcels of their holdings relative to the first fourteen iuga may 

 be tabulated as shown on the following page. 



Few as are these fourteen iuga in proportion to the entire 

 number, the preceding tabulation shows in a measure their rela- 

 tion to the holdings of the tenants. The lands of any person or 

 estate tended to he in neighboring iuga, whether in few or in 

 many. The estate of the heirs of John Beausitz appears in each 

 of the above fourteen, continues through the following eight, dis- 

 appears for a long time, but reappears toward the end of the 

 survey in some half-dozen field divisions, two of these being iuga.
