Hey all, I just wanted to add a few things although I am not that active on OSM these days. The National Monuments Service seems to have open data available that includes ringforts and similar structures. I am not sure about the licence compatibility and mass importing and all that This could be a

Hi Keith, There were some already mapped in my area and so I started mapping some myself here, http://histosm.org/#11/-9.1571/53.827/0/ HistOSM gives a clearer picture of these kinds of things, the more historical things get, the less relevant they are for OSM though. I wonder is it possible to

I agree that the civil parish borders should go through the townland's e.g. (Ballyboleen and Magheraeagh etc.) If you look at the historic OSI 6 inch 1837 map, you can see the borders going through the townlands. http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html That map belongs to OSI so I would say that is

Thanks for the OSM OSI comparison map, this is great for showing up mistakes in the townland boundaries and I even found a missing townland or two. This umap seems pretty cool too. I notice that many townlands without logainm tags are because of the typos. Fixing those should allow the script to

Hi Colm, Thanks for your addition, every little helps! I agree with you that we must not assume that the mistake is always in the OSM entry. Often the entry in OSM is of greater value, even if it does not match any official names, for example, I have added the local name of a townland "Guesdian"

Hi all, I found a lot of typos in townland names in county Mayo and i presume it is similar in other counties. As of 12.01.2017, About 4.3% of townlands in Mayo have a mistake in the spelling. That is roughly 130 townland names just for Mayo! I think that is something important we can correct now
