(Falange Offaly) Kings Surveyors' Measure (Year of 1316)
1 kings link = 0.875 ft. (1 foot link = 1 ft.)  
1 irish (erse) pole = 24 kg.lk. (1 irish po. = 21 ft.lk.)  
1 irish chain = 96 kg.lk. (1 irish ch. = 84 ft.lk.)  
1 irish furlong = 10 irish ch. (1 irish fu. = 40 irish po. = 140 fth. = 280 yd. = 840 ft.)
1 irish (erse) mile = 80 irish ch.  
1 irish (erse) pale = 576 kg.sq.lk. (441 ft.sq.lk.)  
1 irish sq. chain = 9216 kg.sq.lk. (7056 ft.sq.lk.)  
1 irish (erse) rood = 23,040 kg.sq.lk. (17,640 ft.sq.lk.)  
1 irish (erse) acre = 10 irish sq.ch. (1 irish acre = 4 irish po. x 40 irish po.)
1 irish ml. = 60 right angle 3 x 4 x 5 triangles, 4 unit (the 112 ft.) sides laid end to end
60 irish ml. per hr. = 112 ft. per sec.
1 irish ml. = 6720 ft. (80 x 84' = 6720')(60 x 112' = 6720')(48 x 140' = 6720')
28' = 1 irish ch. right angle triangle (21' x 28' x 35') perpendicular
6720' = 240 irish ch. right angle triangle (21' x 28' x 35') perpendiculars
70,560 sq.' = 240 irish ch. right angle triangle (21' x 28' x 35') areas
70,560 sq.' = 1 irish acre
17,640 sq.' = 60 irish ch. right angle triangle (21' x 28' x 35') areas
17,640 sq.' = 1 irish rood
1 irish sq. mile = 640 irish acres (6400 irish sq.ch.)
     
96 kg.lk. = 21 ft. + 28 ft. + 35 ft. (84 ft.) (1 irish ch.)
96 kg.lk. = 1 irish po. + 1 1/3 irish po. + 1 2/3 irish po. (4 irish po.)
1 irish (erse) po. = 24 kg.lk. (21 ft.)
96 kg.lk. = 24 kg.lk. + 32 kg.lk. + 40 kg.lk. (28 yd.) (14 fth.)
96 kg.lk. = 3x8 kg.lk. + 4x8 kg.lk. + 5x8 kg.lk. = 1 irish ch. (r/angle 3 x 4 x 5 triangle)
7680 kg.lk. = 60 x 4 x 4 x 8 kg.lk. (1 irish ml.)
7680 kg.lk. = 60 x 4 x 1 1/3 irish po. (320 irish po.)
7680 kg.lk. = 60 x 4 x 28 ft. (6720 ft.)
12 in. = 3 in. + 4 in. + 5 in. (1 ft.)
80640 in. = 60 x 336 x 4 in. (1 irish ml.)
