message: I have removed the calculation of average size as total area divided by number, and replaced it with a cite to a figure given a journal article (which I have not read; maybe it makes the same calculation). The calculation is invalid because not all the area of Ireland is split into townlands, and not all the townlands are listed. 
* The centres of the larger older boroughs were not divided below the level of the parish; any townland-level units that existed at the time the settlement was created in the middle ages are lost to history and of no legal status. 
* As urban areas expanded their municipal boundaries, the townlands engulfed within the borders came to be left off OS maps and census returns, with addresses aggregated by street rather than by townland. However it would seem these hidden townlands were never actually abolished, though no longer listed in the townland indexes. 
* It was also formerly the case, and may still be so, that uninhabited uncultivated islands were not part of any townland: they are listed in italics in the townland indxes up to 1911. However, in the Republic they seem to have acquired townland status subsequently, judging from placename orders and logainm.ie (in which case there are now some extremely tiny townlands).
