The IreAtlas Townlands Database (Seanruad) at http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/ seems to have disappeared offline, having previously moved to its current address in the middle of last year. The database is a helpful tool to locate a townland anywhere in Ireland - hopefully the disappearance is temporary.
In the meantime, for Northern Ireland you can find useful townland locations via a series of maps through PRONI at http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/local_history/geographical_index/townlands.htm.
UPDATE Thursday: Thankfully the IreAtlas database is back online!

My latest book, Discover Scottish Civil Registration Records, is now available from http://www.gould.com.au (print) and http://www.gen-ebooks.com/unlock-the-past.html (ebook), whilst Tracing Your Irish Family History on the Internet is available at http://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Irish-History-on-the-Internet/p/3889/.
www.archaeology.ie is our goto site for checking townland names if seanruad is unavailable.
