Maps of Irish Placenames

A townland is basically the smallest administrative division found in Ireland and is a system of Gaelic origin. There are some 60,000 townlands in Ireland. In rural areas, the townland would typically appear as the first line in a person’s address. Below I map the common components found in Irish townland names.
