There are several different systems of land measurement in place in Ireland at various times.
Statute acre (or English acre) = 4840 square yards
Cunningham acre = 6250 square yards. A Scottish measurement. Cunningham acres need to be multiplied by 1.29 to convert them to English, statute acres. www.clancunningham.org/photos/Settlement6.html
Irish acre = 7840 square yards www.sizes.com/units/irish_acre.htm + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre_(Irish)
conversion table
This may explain the differences in the acreage of a farm which seems to have changed in size.
