A score is twenty of anything. If you want to say twenty years you can say 'a score of years', but not just 'a score'.

New York: Copernicus (1996): 11. ""Score" is related to "share" and comes from the Old Norse "skor" meaning a "notch" or "tally" on a stick used for counting. ... Often people counted in 20s; every 20th notch was larger, and so "score" also came to mean 20." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty Jun 02 2008, 6:51 PM FREE!
