What is recorded here
Mortared walls rose in Tinnahinch during 1547, built by English soldiers to block O'Connor and O'More. The fortification still belongs to memory rather than modern mapping, preserving a military clash that shaped Leix.
Unlocated fortification within the townland of Tinnahinch that is mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters Vol. 5 p. 1503, under the year 1547 when the Lord Justice and his forces erected a 'fortification in Leix around Badhun-Riaganach (Bawn Regan), where they left forces to oppose O'Connor and O'More'.
