How to Give a Grid Reference Ireland
is divided into 25 100km squares each of which have been allocated a letter.
A grid reference in Clare will begin with Q, R or M. This is followed
by 6 digits which are obtained from Ordnance survey maps such as the Discovery
Series. The first 3 digits are obtained from the horizontal axis usually
given along the top and bottom of a map. And the next 3 digits come from
the vertical axis up the side of the map.
For example the grid reference for Drumcliff Round Tower is R328 801. Discovery Series maps provide instructions on how to give a grid reference. These maps are available in most local libraries in County Clare. |
