Only for a small piece of land, a best and optimum option can be searched. When you plan 5 Acres, you can have it any shape.

If you still prefer a best proportion, the Width : Length  2 : 3

60' x 40' is a best measurement for laying out.

 According to Keating the Baile Biataigh consisted of twelve 'ploughlands' of one hundred and twenty acres of arable land each. (There was also a unit called a Leathbhaile e.g. Laghvally in Kilmacrehy parish, and Lavally in the parishes of Kilchreest and Clondegad). At best this reckoning can only be regarded as an approximation for it seems clear from the Carew Mss

A. Square Measurement

1 Hectare = 2.5 Acres

1 Acre = 40 Gunthas

1 Guntha = 121 sq.yards = 101.17 sq.metres

1 Guntha = 33 ft. x 33 ft. = 1089 sq.feet

1 Acre = 4840 sq.yards

1 Acre = 4067.23 sq.metres

1 Acre = 43,560 sq.feet

1 sq. yard = 0.8361 sq.metre

1 sq. metre = 1.190 sq.yards

1 sq. yard = 9 sq. feet

1 sq. metre = 10.76 sq.feet

B. Lines Measurement

1 Kilometre = 0.621 mile

1 Mile = 1.609 Kilometres

1 Kilometre = 1000 metres

1 Metre = 39.37 feet
