A cross and a quarter of an acre (4)

I believe the answer is:

rood

(Other definitions for rood that I've seen before include "Area equal to 40 square rods" , "Cross, crucifix" , "The Holy . . . . was the Cross of Christ" , "Crucifix - old unit of area" , "- Loft; - screen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
