UND?

I was just going through an old hard drive deciding what to keep and what to dump and took an interest in an old planning document for a neighbors house.

On the document are several maps and two of them both include a small area near a river marked UND, so I was just wondering what that might mean.

My best bet was that it means the actual area of land is UNDetermined, which wouldn't be far from the truth anyway as the area is subject to flooding and the action of the sea so changes a little in area with every storm. On older maps the area is shown as being part of the river.

A townland boundary is usually indicated by little black dots.

Where the townland boundary is not defined on the ground by anything (such as centre road, fence line, centre stream), the OSI maps mark it as "UND". Is there a line of black dots near the UND text?

Cool, very interesting. There is actually a line of little black dots down the middle of the river and UND is on the land to the west of the river. To the south there is a road so that bank of the river can't change if the middle of the river is considered to be the townland boundary.
