Irish Mile
Irish Mile :
The traditional mile in Ireland is 6720 feet, which is 1.272 727 English mile or 2.048 256 kilometers. The discrepancy arose because the Irish perch, or rod, was standardized at 21 feet instead of the English figure of 16.5 feet. Just as in England, the Irish chain was equal to 4 perches (84 feet instead of 66 feet), the Irish furlong was equal to 10 chains (840 feet instead of 660 feet) and the mile was equal to 8 furlongs
