Hi Brian,

The sheets should give some indication as to whether or not an island
belongs to a townland. For smaller islands, its highly like that they do
not belong to any townland at all.

The link below shows some islands in Lough Corrib in Galway where the
larger islands are townlands and also shows smaller islands which are not
contained within a townland relation at all.

Note however, that everything, water included, falls into the the Civil
Parish, Barony and Electorl Division relations
