The townland system is of Gaelic origin, pre-dating the Norman invasion, and most have names of Irish Gaelic origin. However, some townland names and boundaries come from Norman manors, plantation divisions, or later creations of the Ordnance Survey. In Ireland, a townland is (generally) the smallest administrative division of land, though a few large townlands are further divided into hundreds.Whilst the concept of townlands is based on the Gaelic system of land division, it was in the 1600s that they became mapped and defined by the English administration for the purpose of confiscating land and portioning it out to English investors or grants to English planters.[9] The first official evidence of the existence of this Gaelic land division system can be found in church records from before the 12th century. ]]> CRS:84 EPSG:4326 EPSG:3857 EPSG:102100 EPSG:4258 -10.618540-5.99627851.41991355.435136 CRS:84 EPSG:4326 EPSG:3857 EPSG:102100 EPSG:4258 -180.000000180.000000-85.47029190.000000 7 http://www.isde.ie/#/7602f845-9942-4dd4-8b04-bdc48181954a science, geography, biogeography hydrography, ecology MEOW is a biogeographic classification of the world's coasts and shelves.
