Section 11. Land levied upon, whether an entire parcel or an undivided part, and whether the debtor's estate therein is a fee simple or a less estate, and whether it is in possession, reversion or remainder, shall be described, by metes and bounds or otherwise, with as much precision as is necessary in a deed of land, and in such manner that the land may be known and identified.
