Unlocated possible ringfort within the townland that is described in the History of Queens County as, 'Baccan seems to flourished in the time of St. Patrick; for when the Irish Apostle passed through this part of Leix on his way to Ossory, a work was in the course of erection, near which the church of Domnachmore afterwards stood. This Baccan, it is said, built the Fort of Rath-Bacain (LA028-085----) in Magh-Reda (Morrett), and its foundations were being laid at that period' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 87).

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.
