Listed in Data.gov.ie
Townlands dataset generated from the 2026 National Statutory Boundary dataset.
Description
Ungeneralised. Townlands are the smallest statutory boundary in the country and are based on Gaelic and later Norman and plantation divisions.
In general, other territorial divisions are collections of townlands. The 6” survey of Ireland carried out under the 1825 Boundary Survey Act documented and formalised the boundaries of townlands in Ireland. Townlands are statute boundaries under the 19th century Boundary Survey Acts and can only be altered by statutory instrument.
