[edit] Use in the USA
The main topic lists hundreds as being common in New England, yet the part about hundreds in the USA only mentions states conventionally thought of as in the Mid-atlantic.
- Changed; article no longer mentions New England. Akb4 13:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wapentake
Wapentake is listed under the See also section but then Wapentake redirects back to this Hundred (division) article. Personally I think there should be a separate article for Wapentake, otherwise this is a looping link. 194.203.110.127 10:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Centuriation
Any possible relationship between hundred an centuriation, the word used by Roman surveyors?
- Centuria An area of land equal to 100 heredia.
- Centuriation Limitatio, or, the division of land in which limites divide the land into regular squares or rectangles.
- Century A square or rectangle of a centuriation often divided into 100 plots of land.

[edit] Hierarchy
Is there a listing of the complete traditional hierarchy of land sizes? (Hundreds < shires < counties (?)) --JD79 16:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] anachronism
The coexistence on a map of Cornish hundreds and a reference to the'Celtic Sea' is a severe anachronism----Clive Sweeting
