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.
The Irish Historic Towns Atlas (IHTA) project was established in 1981. The aim of the project is to record the topographical development of a selection of Irish towns both large and small. See https://www.ria.ie/research-projects/irish-historic-towns-atlas/about for more information.
