Irish Place Names | Villages, towns and townlands in Ireland

The Irish Place Names database is based on the Index to the Townlands, and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland published in 1861 after the Census of Ireland carried out in 1851. This database lists all of the villages, towns and townlands that were enumerated, as well as the Barony, Civil Parish and Poor Law Union that each was located in. NOTE: Use filter boxes at bottom of table to search.

Search:

Enter all or part of the Place Name to be searched for. As more letters are entered, the number of results will be reduced. % (percent) and _ (underscore) can be used as part of a wildcard search. % represents any number of characters, _ represents a single character. County, Province, Barony, Civil Parish and Poor Law Union can also be searched.

Sort:

Results can be sorted by any column. By clicking a column header, the results will be sorted by that column in ascending order (a-z). By clicking the same column header a second time, the results will be sorted by that column in descending order (z-a).

Notes:

Some place names have had alternate names. These are indicated by a.k.a. in the results. Alternate place names are automatically included in the search results.
