DATABASES
OF TOWNLANDS
Below
are links to to two databases which list all of the
individual townlands in North and Mid Antrim and Co.
Londonderry and indicate the Barony, Parish, Poor
Law Union, Dispensary District and DED in which each
was located. There is also a column which gives the
Ordnance Survey [County Series] sheet number or numbers
for each townland. The townlands are arranged alphabetically
in both the Excel and PDF versions of the databases.

It
is not possible for me to produce townland maps of
all the parishes in North and Mid Antrim and Co. Londonderry,
but I have from time to time added maps showing townlands
within parishes, DEDs, etc. which I am using in the
case studies of localities. You might be lucky - some
of them could include your locality!

Note,
that the more recent versions of the Ordnance Survey,
1:50000, Discoverer Series has a townland map and
alphabetical list of townlands on the back of each
sheet. The sheets covering the North and Mid Antrim
area and Co. Londonderry are Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13
& 14 - click
