[OSM-talk-ie] Townland boundaries on lake shores

[Brian Prangle]

Westmeath has a lot of lakes and I've come across instances , particularly
around Lough Derravaragh
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/53.6568/-7.4239> where the historic
scanned shoreline does not match the existing shoreline. Generally the
existing shoreline has shrunk. What I've done is to use the original
shoreline as the boundary, which means that there are small strips of land
without a townland. Is it posssible to have land in Ireland that's not part
of a townland? Or should the boundaries move from the historic route to the
new shoreline?

Regards
