To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
2 Allusions to such variations from the usual course crop up in the Domesday Survey, 3 but it holds firmly to the rule that the plough-teams mentioned in its statistics are equivalent to the eight-oxen teams, and treats the facts as to the actual ' heads ', or animals which go to make them up, as entirely secondary. Nor does the Survey make any attempt to describe the larger or smaller teams, although both kinds often occurred in practice ; it notes them merely in groups of eight heads, or as f...ractions composed of a lesser number of heads, for example, two oxen or six oxen. 4 The frequent instances of these fractional subdivisions may mean either that the holders of these fractions of teams had to join in order to start full ploughs, or else that they actually worked with smaller ploughs. The latter explanation seems the only appropriate one when, as is often the case, the six, four, three, or two oxen appear in separate hamlets, where it would be out of the question to find neighbours capable of joining to make up the team.
