townland
Small Irish division
A townland is a small rural land division used in Ireland, typically comprising a few hundred acres.
These ancient territorial units—numbering over 60,000 across the island—predate English administration and remain the basic geographic subdivision for property records, addresses, and local identity: My family's farm is in the townland of Ballykeel.
