Boy are those units outdated today! Nail? Rood?

Those are pretty unfair questions, although most charts will show 2 barrels to a hogshead, a hogshead could vary for different types of liquid (1 hogshead of wine = 63 US gallons; 1 hogshead of beer = 54 gallons), so no wonder no one uses these anymore.
There’s approx. 40 square rods to a rood (1/4 acre). No idea what unit of measurement a nail amounts to.
