Unit of land measurement (4)
I believe the answer is:
acre
'unit of land measurement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for acre that I've seen before include "0.405 of a hectare" , "A state of W Brazil" , "Measure of land area" , "4840 sq yds" , "Imperial unit of area" .)
