If we're in Mallorca, a cuartón (quarton in mallorquín) is a unit of agricultural land, equivalent to 1,775.75 m². It is a quarter of a cuarterada (quarterada), which is equivalent to 7,103 m². If this is applicable, it will have to be left in Spanish with a note.

If the ST is Cuban then this is probably is a section of a protero. The latter word depends on context, but could be field, pasture ... an indeterminate area.

@Charles. Thanks :-)

It's not reasonable to expect anyone to be able to give you useful help on this question with almost no context. Where is it from (what country)? Is it contemporary, or old; & if old, how old? Can you give the sentence or phrase in which it occurs, plus a sentence or two or three on either side?
