There is really only one Headford location in the county - but it merits four listings in the IreAtlas. One is for the townland, which is in Killursa civil parish. And the other three are for the once-larger Town of Headford - now reduced to a village (but an important one, I hasten to add to avoid offence). This village spreads a bit over a conjunction of Killursa, Cargin and Kilkivery civil parishes - hence, it needs three listings to define it <gr>.
