-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hiya,
As yous know, myself and Dave are doing a talk about townlands at the global OSM conferences, State of the Map, in Brussels in September. Can anyone tell me more about the history of townlands? Something nice to add to a slide? I've heard that townlands were mentioned in the Táin Bó Cúailnge. Can anyone tell me more about this? I looked at [the scans of the Lebor na hUidre (Book of the Dun Cow)](https://www.isos.dias.ie/master.html?https://www.isos.dias.ie/libraries/RIA/RIA_MS_23_E_25/english/index.html?ref=http://www.isos.dias.ie/libraries/RIA/english/ria_menu.html?ref=), is anyone able to point to a word on a page and say "This is townland X in Co. Whatever". (I tried it myself, but er, it's Old Irish). It would impress to the Americans & other Europeans that the townlands are ancient, and a part of our history, heritage and culture. We didn't spend all these years mapping them just cause. Any hints? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJXsfkoAAoJEOrWdmeZivv2NkoH/2dD/XUWA/3EDX/t04G4C+r+ FYzLmLgkGIplClf7w1Ux0wB/6ZYgtht6dvZ8DQvRaG6YxbREZXA40HLfcsLoSru2 1/eAOZeEReft7oQjugsZs+uPUNzX01PZ4bk7GTZ12/bfCDwcdAX8lAJhwIGl+Lf2 ZWKaVCNq5UmCZtUJvTs/3u5YX3nVrYorjwkQ2+X6/T/Y/jN71kxen1vLrMNJRiQ+ 7oEAesQwUT6Vj87mMKJ2Iw3N/6LG6TxwfHSn2etF7Syb4geOV/K6kjPblcQ1usQ5 PBSB2OB9h5Apav9QyLIq+u/P1NILDOzUJbSAv/qmyMSUBC3IArhw1hohgGum938= =1GX2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
