Thanks Dafo.
I rectified the Antrim Baronies map this evening but am still scratching my head as to how to get it into JOSM. I thought I had it but it comes up as red with the word ERROR across it. Do you have to wait for a while after rectifying?
I also tried downloading, but was not able to work out what to do with that either.
