† davachn.

Forms: Also davoch; in 1600s dawach(e.

Etymology: < Old Irish dabach, dabhach vat, tub (perhaps as a corn-measure); compare the similar uses of pint, pottle, and gallon, as measures of land in Anglo-Irish. In medieval Latin davaca (erroneously -ata). A conjectured derivation < damh ox, is erroneous. Dabach occurs as a land-measure in the ‘Book of Deir’. (Goidelica (ed. 2) 217.)

Scottish History.

An ancient Scottish measure of land, consisting in the east of Scotland of 4 ploughgates, each of 8 oxgangs; in the west divided into twenty penny-lands. It is said to have averaged 416 acres, but its extent probably varied with the quality of the land.
