The role of the Irish Walled Towns Network (IWTN) is to unite and co-ordinate the strategic efforts of local authorities involved in the management, conservation and enhancement of historic walled towns in Ireland, both North and South, with the main objective to ensure that these fascinating monuments do not collapse. Almost all the projects have a tangible tourism benefit. The dataset maps Medieval and post-Medieval urban walled settlements as quantified and identified by Avril Thomas in her book “The Walled Towns of Ireland” Volumes 1 & 2 (1992), published by Irish Academic Press, Dublin.

Archaeologically Significant Built Heritage in Ireland. Published by Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Available under the license Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC-BY-4.0).This contains records taken from the Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) dataset, updated in 2018 and published from the National Monuments Service Sites and Monuments Record. The ASI has focused on recording monuments dating from before AD 1700, along with more recent sites selected according to their interest or merit. Locations of monuments within 2km of the coastline were extracted from the ASI dataset by Land Use Consultants (LUC).
The records were downloaded from the data source URL in CSV format. The table included latitude/longitude locations for each record. The table was converted into ESRI shapefile and the records within the 2km coastal zone were extracted.
Since its inception in 1963, the Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) has focused on recording monuments dating from before AD 1700, along with more recent sites selected according to their interest or merit. A Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) was issued for all counties in the State between 1984 and 1992. The SMR is a manual containing a numbered list of all certain and possible monuments accompanied by 6-inch Ordnance Survey maps (at a reduced scale). An Urban Archaeology Survey was completed in 1995 and contained reports on historic towns dating to before AD 1700 with a view to delineating zones of archaeological potential. Both the SMR and the Urban Archaeological Survey reports were issued to all planning authorities. The SMR formed the basis for issuing the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) - the statutory list of recorded monuments established under Section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994. The RMP was issued for each county between 1995 and 1998 in a similar format to the existing SMR. However, the RMP differs from the earlier lists in that, as defined in the Act, only monuments with known locations or places where there are believed to be monuments are included. The large archive and supporting database are managed by the National Monuments Service and the records are continually updated and supplemented as additional monuments are discovered.
Please note that the centre point of each record is not indicative of the geographic extent of the monument. The existing point centroids were digitised relative to the OSI 6-inch mapping and the move from this older IG-referenced series to the larger-scale ITM mapping will necessitate revisions. The accuracy of the derived ITM co-ordinates is limited to the OS 6-inch scale and errors may ensue should the user apply the co-ordinates to larger scale maps. Records that do not refer to 'monuments' are designated 'Redundant record' and are retained in the archive as they may relate to features that were once considered to be monuments but which on investigation proved otherwise. Redundant records may also refer to duplicate records or errors in the data structure of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland....
Area < 0.4 km2 or population >100 but < 5000 inhabitants. All municipalities and other built-up areas estimated to be important by their number of inhabitants and/or their outstanding localisation. Those built-up areas, which have less than 100 inhabitants but are main villages or cities of the regional/local administrative units, are included. The NAMN1 attribute stores the name of the populated place in the official primary language spoken in that populated place and administratively relevant.This dataset is provided by Tailte Éireann

The dataset was created by Land Use Consultants (LUC) and is based on The Royal Irish Academy Irish Historic Towns Atlas (https://www.ria.ie/sites/default/files/origins_of_towns_0.pdf). The Historic Towns Atlas displays towns of over 3000 inhabitants and urban district towns along with information about their origin. The Atlas was used to identify the settlements and the locations were digitised based on coordinates for the settlements. The dataset shows towns within 2 km of the coast. The Royal Irish Academy Historic Towns Atlas was used to identify historic towns. Google Earth was used to obtain latitude and longitude coordinates for each town. These were converted to a shapefile and sites within 2km of the coast were exported to create the final dataset. None

The large Archaeological Survey of Ireland archive and supporting database are managed by the National Monuments Service and the records are continually updated and supplemented as additional monuments are discovered. On the Historic Environment viewer an area around each monument has been shaded, the scale of which varies with the class of monument. This area does not define the extent of the monument, nor does it define a buffer area beyond which ground disturbance should not take place – it merely identifies an area of land within which it is expected that the monument will be located. It is not a constraint area for screening – such must be set by the relevant authority who requires screening for their own purposes.

The European Environment Agency, as lead authority under the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, co-ordinate the development of high resolution “local component” or “hot spot monitoring” datasets. Comparable data is produced across Europe using earth observation methods developed in partnership with private industry. The Environmental Protection Agency, as members of the European network EIONET, provides data quality assessments and disseminates the data for Ireland.
The Urban Atlas 2012 is a Land Use Land Cover dataset that has full wall to wall coverage of the major Irish cities of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. Additional product information can be found here. It is worth noting that under the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service there are plans for future updates of this data and an expansion to map other areas.
