I guess the situation is different as the waterway changes in Ireland have
not caused disputes. The townland boundaries that are set by the commision
have not changed, but in osm we are changing them, and amending the
boundaries to suit the map rather than the official boundary,

Thanks - Inishfale isn't a townland on the GIS layer I have (maybe an error
with that layer?). I wasn't doubting Beggerin was a townland! Just looking
for it: I found it on my GIS layer. I can't see the orig OS maps here

You can check the online 1901 townland index (there is also a 1911

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.

Sorry - that should be: Irish monuments are now appearing in townlands
where they are not there officially according to the sites and monuments
record.

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

of an exception than a rule.
Personally I would put the boundary on

Thanks. stick with the boundary markings as they exist on the map sheets:

I read that thread, I figured there was something about it before, just
couldn't recall.
If I'm honest, I think my opinion has changed from the one I originally
stated in that thread on the basis that townland boundaries are changed
through statutory instruments only (as far as I am aware). I'd

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
