Code for the overpass turbo queries:
To look for a barony, just use the Wizard and type
boundary=barony AND name=Galmoy in Ireland
(replace “Galmoy” with the barony you are looking for)
To look for the townlands within that barony, copy and paste the following into overpass turbo:
/* Looking for townlands in the barony of Galmoy */ [out:json][timeout:25]; // fetch area “Galmoy” to search in {{geocodeArea:Ireland}}->.searchArea; // gather results ( // query part for: “admin_level=10” area["name"="Galmoy"]["boundary"="barony"]; rel(area)["admin_level"="10"]; ); // print results out body; >; out skel qt;
(Again, replace “Galmoy” with the name of your barony.)
To look for graveyards and cemeteries in that barony:
[out:json][timeout:25]; // fetch area “Galmoy” to search in {{geocodeArea:Ireland}}->.searchArea; // gather results ( // query part for graveyards and cemeteries in the barony of Galmoy area["name"="Galmoy"]["boundary"="barony"]; way(area)["amenity"="grave_yard"]; way(area)["landuse"="cemetery"]; ); // print results out body; >; out skel qt;
(Same as before. You can also look for churches or castles or ringforts, but those queries are more complex.)
