A perch is a traditional unit of area measurement used primarily in real estate and surveying. Historically, the perch was used variously in many parts of Europe; its size could vary from country to country, from region to region, and even from town to town. However, in modern terms, it is generally accepted as equal to a square rod, or 1/160th of an acre. The unit is still in use, though predominantly in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
