What is recorded here

The Annals of the Four Masters records that in 1547 the forces of Sir Anthony St. Leger, the Lord Chief Justice, built a fortification in Leix around Badhun-Riaganach 'where he left wardens to oppose O'Connor and O'More'. Unlocated fortification within townland of either Bockagh, Brish or Baunreagh. Baun Regan is marked on old Map of Leix and Offaly as near the source of the Barrow. These townlands are also located on sheet 11. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
