Plough Team

Plough Team
♦ Often assessed at eight oxen per team; in the richest agricultural areas, like the Severn valley, there were between three and five per square mile. On harsher land like the fringes of Dartmoor, a smallholder might own only one or two oxen.
(Wood, Michael. Domesday: A Search for the Roots of England, 214)
