It means the amount of land one Ox can plough in a year and was used for taxation purposes. The Doomsday book uses the measurement term ‘Team’. There were 8 Oxen in a ‘Team’ and 1/8 of a team is an Oxland. The land measured was for arable, agricultural and grazing land. It did not include bogs, woods, ditches etc.
