Hi Killian, I'm trying to recall what was done in the past for this as I'm sure it's come up. To the best of my recollection, stick with the boundary markings as they exist on the map sheets. Dave On 14 May 2015 22:12, "Killian Driscoll" wrote: > I've been working on tracing townlands by Lou

Thanks. "stick with the boundary markings as they exist on the map sheets": if you scan the lake edges of e.g. Lough Neagh, Gara, Derravaragh, Allen etc. that have lowered lake levels the traced townland boundaries all now match the new lake level, so I think the map sheets have been ignored and ne

There's an earlier thread on topic here where conflicting advice was given ;-) https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ie/2014-October/000741.html So looks like it is worthwhile opening up the discussion where we can all agree on a common approach. D On 15 May 2015 at 18:32, Killian Dr

Thanks, I've just read the earlier messages. For the most part it's not probematical to use the new lake level, but it does raise some anomalies. For example: At the SW side of Lough Allen the pre-drainage scheme lake level contained an island called Inishfale Island with the townland of Derrynado

Some of the townlands did have their boundary updated, such as Rock Big in Wicklow (http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.7749/-6.1459) , see http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1994/en/si/0333.html . But that seems to be more of an exception than a rule. Personally I would put the boundary on th

I guess it comes down to what we are doing here. By changing the boundary to match the new shoreline we are in effect changing the townland size, and also creating anomalies whereby e.g. Irish monuments are now appearing in townlands where there are not there officially according to the sites and m

I guess the point is 'Inishfale Island' was never an official townland (at least the name doesn't turn up on the online databases, I don't have access to the print copy): the sites and monuments record uses 'Inisfale Island' as the name. Is/was Beggerin Island a townland? Killian Driscoll Banting

ARP was/is listed for any offshore islands which were above sea level at high tide as far as I know. It doesn't mean that they were considered townlands as such (if the name appears in italics on the map, then they were considered to be extra-territorial. One occasional issue with the Bing imagery
