CARUCATA. A plough-land, or as much arable ground as in one year could be tilled with one plough: which in the reign of Rich. I. was computed at sixty acres, Mon. Ang. tom. ii. p. 107.
Yet another charter 9 Rich. I. allots one hundred acres to a carucate.
And Fleta, temp. Edw. l. says, if land lay in three common fields, then ninescore acres to a carucate, sixty for winter tillage, sixty for spring tillage, and sixty for fallows.
But if the land lay in two fields, then eightscore acres to a carucate; one half for tillage, and the other for fallow, lib. ii. cap. 72. §. 4.
The measure of a carucate was different, according to time and place. In 23 Ed. III. one carucate of land in Burcester contained one hundred and twelve acres; and two carucates in Middleton were three hundred acres, ii. 103.
Caruca was sometimes used for carucata; Robert de Ver confirmed to the monks of Thorney, Decimas de quinque carucis quas pater concessit in Islep Draitune et Edinton, i. iii.
In Doomsday inquisition, the arable land was measured by carucates, the common pasture by hides, and the meadow by acres. In some countries the word is still preserved a carve of land, and the imposition on land carrucagium et carcagium is called carvage.
