A furlong is a distance equal to 220 yards, one eighth of a mile. Nowadays it is most often used in relation to horse racing.

A set of these furrows a chain (22 yards) wide would take the team of oxen a day to plough and this area ploughed (a furlong by a chain) is called an acre (though an acre itself, as a measure of area, can be any shape). It can also be a last name.
