Those numbers tell you the area of the townland. townlands.ie shows the area of townlands in many units, including "ARP". I find the area helpful when mapping, you can tell if it's a big townland or small one, which can help you find the border. > 2. How are people mapping EDs currently?

One way (which I haven't tried much) is to use indexes and match it up by townlands. So if you know that ED X is made up of townland A, B and C, you can map it that way. There are some barony maps available here: http://mapwarper.net/maps/tag/barony Rory -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUvrvLAAoJEOrWdmeZivv2nFcH/j0mH/tieaWdeBRZktf1zkol TqeeQFOrMbEuAtb66IBmon241PCSczBar8ZK5BrpAawOYsiosRP6jRZTgWk3q7SS RfIaiDVsiUhjoX7rxZ8Wy44634zb2RMJn/5DzaSUj46REnCk3XGyjrC2/nuvLYGC pWUKwPGSpfSVkyAbJdVshaqT7+a6UV+hM17nOfehCFViYglPhxrfRNYuflhVUgkH 9Tikqv4XACn9YdQu5XPHV4LvwqlS96MZL8E/Ss0Ua6KwqFseISKe9lYUsQv0fMl7 cghbWw0JX9Y4aI9B9pTGHnSI0m+wFWS1x5tYly/nczf/BpUB9dfZKDljg1jGGlY= =Gca6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
