The author presents accurate radio positions and the arcsec angular structural information for 239 radio sources. The information is derived from the lunar occultation observations made at 327 MHz using the Ooty radio telescope. The accurate radio positions have been utilized to make a search for the optical counterparts on the Palomar Sky Survey prints, and ≡24% of the cases are found to be optically identified. Finding charts for the newly identified cases are given. For the radio source having a double or triple structure, a quite accurate information on the position angle of the major axis can be derived using only two or more one-dimensional scans available from the occultations. Such an information for all such sources in the Ooty occultation survey has been utilized to place more stringent limits on any possible non-random distribution in the orientation of neighbouring extragalactic radio sources on the sky.
