The table shows Kiltearn with 6½ davachs and Lemlair with 3¾ davachs. The combined total is 10¼ davachs. However I am concerned that the total for Kiltearn is an underestimate so it is possible that originally Kiltearn held 10 davachs and Lemlair 5.
There is little evidence for the davach-merkland exchange rate in Kiltearn. However, GD93/5 1350-71 suggests that davachs were valued at 10m each by the late fourteeenth century. (The davach of Easter Fowlis was exchanged for the davach of Petmadwy ‘with warrandice to the extent of an equivalent 10m land’). I do not think this was an Old Extent valuation – which therefore suggests that New Extent applied before 1400.
